In these damp days like today, here are measures to quickly make your home dry and clean.
Do not turn on the cooling fan
The cold air from the fan not only does not help evaporate water in the room but also makes the moist air condense stronger, leading to increased water accumulation and mold. While the house is damp, limit opening the door as much as possible. Opening the door should only be done when the weather changes to spring-summer and drier.
Turn on the fan and air conditioner
Turn on the fan in the bathroom to push the moist air out of the house. Turn on the air conditioner in dry mode. This is the simplest and most effective method to reduce humidity and prevent the growth of bacteria.
Clean the house and use dry towels
Avoid cleaning the house with water on damp days, as this not only does not clean but also increases the humidity of the floor. Use dry towels to clean the house, helping to maintain dryness without adding humidity.
Use a dehumidifier
Use a dehumidifying box or beads, place them in corners of the house where humidity is high. This helps reduce humidity in the air inside the house and maintain a drier environment. The above measures not only help protect your living space from stuffiness and mold but also ensure a dry and comfortable environment on damp days.
Damp weather can damage electronic devices, making them prone to damage or short circuits. To address this issue, you can take steps such as keeping devices in standby mode continuously and keeping them running for a few hours each day. Additionally, to avoid the risk of electrical leakage, it is important to limit placing electrical devices directly on the floor or against walls. For optimum safety, you should place electrical devices at a height of about 1m above the ground and keep a distance of about 10-15 cm from the wall.
An interesting measure to reduce humidity and odor in the house is to use scented candles. You can experiment with different types of scented candles to not only make the air dry but also create a romantic space. This is an effective but often overlooked way to make the living space dry and sophisticated, as well as soothe your mood.
