Help you to decrease humidity
After you have to read “How to pick a dehumidifier” I think you already have the cheap dehumidifier inside your home . So I want to advice you to do this suggestion to increase your dehumidifier and decrease work load, ensure that make your dehumidifier to have a long life time.
- Exhaust fans– Much of the humidity you will find indoors is actually a product of everyday living. When we shower, cook and run the garments dryer, we’re putting moisture into the air. Because thebathroom is one of the main humidity culprits, you should ensure that your bathroom is properly ventilated. Switch on the exhaust fan whenever someone is taking a shower, and consider opening the window or door as well. When you are cooking, you should turn the exhaust vent or the exhaust fans and open a window. That steam you see escaping from your pot of boiling food is going right into your house and increasing humidity. If your bathroom, laundry room and kitchen don’t have exhaust fans, you may want to consider consulting with an electrician to get an estimate on how much installing them would cost. It could be a small price to pay to keep you and your family healthy.
- Your Floors– Your carpet may make you feel great on your feet, but chances are that it’s also trapping moisture and causing your home to be more humid. In fact, if you’re susceptible to allergies or asthma, that carpet is also likely to be exacerbating the symptoms. You should to think about taking out the carpets and installing low-cost laminate flooring instead.
- Central Air-conditioning– Switch on your home’s central air-conditioning system. This is a simple way to help remove much of humidity in the air of the entire house, rather than one room as the dehumidifier does.
- Ventilation– Ventilation allows moisture in the air and pollutants to leave the basement. Open doors and windows in the basement to help prevent condensation, and also install ventilation pipes for appliances in the basement, such as dryers and heaters. Give boxes and furniture a little bit of space from walls to increase ventilation on basement surfaces and reduce humidity.
- Setting your Dehumidifier– Adjust the dehumidifier’s settings. For example, if you see that the area around the dehumidifier is still covered in moisture, then you need to turn the settings up to remove more humidity. However, if you see that the air is feeling a bit too dry, which can cause skin and eye irritations, turn the settings down.
- Fix your leaks– Repair pipe leaks or other water leakage, such as cracks in basement walls and the foundation. Once you stop moisture from entering, your dehumidifier will be much easier.
I think now your dehumidifier has ready to use in your home. Thank You!
