From autumn onwards, humidity is omnipresent outside and inside homes and can cause numerous inconveniences such as bad odors, stains or the proliferation of mold. But fortunately there are effective and inexpensive solutions to combat humidity, which we invite you to discover in this article. Goodbye to expensive and more durable dehumidifier blocks, we reveal to you how to make a homemade dehumidifier at a low price?
To create a dehumidifier worthy of the name, simply use a product that will have the capacity to absorb excess humidity in the house. So, an empty plastic bottle, coarse salt and cotton are enough to make a homemade dehumidifier. To do this, you should cut the bottle in half, place a piece of cotton in the neck and pour coarse salt into it. Then return everything to the other half of the bottle and place your dehumidifier in a damp room.
Many natural solutions are also very effective in removing humidity from your home. This is the case with charcoal, renowned for its absorbent capacities, to be placed in a jar with a pierced lid in a humid room to absorb the humidity. For this method to be effective, it is important to change the charcoal pieces every week. Gum arabic is also known for its dehumidifying properties and to do this, simply place a few pieces in a dish and place it in a damp place in your home. Cat litter is also an excellent way to dehumidify a home, once placed in a dish and placed in a humid room.
To avoid making things worse, you should know that drying your laundry inside your home is a significant source of humidity. So if you can’t dry it outside, hang your laundry in a room that can be ventilated. Also remember to ventilate your rooms for 10 minutes daily to maintain healthy air and evacuate ambient humidity.
