Gone are the days of constantly battling with allergens, dust mites and the air quality of your home.
For years these factors have been some of the worst things that any person can experience. But with the advancement of technology, various machines have been designed to make life easier and much more bearable.
One of these latest inventions are dehumidifiers. For many, this is heaven on earth and the ultimate solution to many household problems.
“A dehumidifier removes water from the air in your home until relative humidity is reduced to the level you choose. Once it has reached this level a good dehumidifier should automatically maintain that comfortable level with no interference from you,” explains UK company Breathing Space.
Meanwhile, introducing this machine into your home can produce several benefits.
Reducing mould
Expert medical publication – Get Cleared – says that while many often-associate mould as being the green stain on bread, mould often reveal itself in multiple other ways including constant sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, teary eyes and even constant headaches. The above-mentioned sources further highlights that they accumulate in darker humid areas.
“A dehumidifier can make the air in your home drier by removing excess moisture. This makes it harder for fungi like mould to grow and spread.”
Getting rid of dust
It is said that mould is not the only havoc causing allergen to affect the immune system, but so are dust mites.
Similar to mould, dust mite thrive in warm and humid conditions, which is why it is important to keep the your home’s humidity level at 30 – 40 percent.
Pest repellent
“In addition to keeping dust mites at bay, a dehumidifier can keep away other pests like termites, earwigs, centipedes and roaches. Like all life, these insects need moisture to survive, and if they can’t find it in your home, they’ll move on to search for it elsewhere,” explains plumbing and electrical company – HomeServe.
Eradicating odour
Bad smells are usually as a result of a number of different things, from unsealed windows to leaking pipes. Having a dehumidifier handy is a perfect solution to getting rid of these musty smells. However, the main issue of repairing the affected area is still necessary, explains décor and cleaning company The Spruce.
