What should I do if the room is damp and moldy? This will be much better!

In the hot summer, although the temperature is relatively high, there is also a lot of rain, which can easily cause dampness and mold in the room. If you want to change the current situation, you can use desiccant, activated carbon, and use a small cloth bag to fill with an appropriate amount of lime to absorb moisture, etc., and the effects are good.

1. Solution to damp room

1. You can use desiccant and activated carbon to prevent moisture and absorb moisture. There are many desiccants in supermarkets that are specifically used for moisture prevention and dehumidification. The most common types are moisture absorbing boxes and dehumidification bags.

2. Put an appropriate amount of lime in a small cloth bag, tie it into a small bag and place it in various corners of the room. Lime itself has the function of absorbing moisture, which can also reduce the humidity in the room. At the same time, lime also has a disinfecting effect, killing two birds with one stone.

3. Buy an air dehumidifier, which is like a vacuum cleaner. It can collect the humid air together, and the moisture will often turn into water.

4. Use air conditioning to dehumidify. Air conditioners used in homes generally have a dehumidification function. However, the method of using air conditioners to adjust the indoor air humidity is slow to take effect, generally taking two or three hours, and will make people indoors feel cold.

5. When the indoor humidity is too high, if you are not using the computer or TV, it is best to put a protective cover on it to prevent the back of the appliance from contacting humid air. And you should turn on these electrical appliances more often, because the heat generated when the machines are running can also effectively dissipate moisture.

6. When the outside humidity is high, the doors and windows should be closed to prevent moisture and humidity. In normal times, you should open windows more often for ventilation to reduce the water vapor content in the room. Especially for newly renovated houses, there is a lot of moisture, so more ventilation is needed to remove the moisture.

2. Solutions to indoor dampness and mold

When there is too much moisture in the room, causing excessive humidity, it will cause the damp walls to become moldy and hairy. When indoor mold spreads, it can have very adverse effects on the human body, especially for people with skin allergies. So what should you do when indoor mold and mildew occur due to moisture?

When there is mold on the wall, you can first brush off the mold stains with a dry toothbrush, and then gently wipe it with a soft cloth dipped in alcohol. This will dry the wall and prevent mold from growing.

In addition, you can mix bleaching powder and water in a ratio of 1:99 to make a water solution, pour it into a spray bottle, and spray it on the moldy walls to solve the problem of moldy walls. If the weather is still humid, you can mix bleach and water in a ratio of 1:20 and apply it on the moldy wall. After the wall is dry, use sandpaper to smooth the wall surface, then apply a layer of waterproof primer, and finally apply a layer of latex paint.
