The humidity in the house is over
Unwanted humidity in the house is one of the most common problems faced by households. It mainly concerns older buildings, but excessive humidity in the bathroom and kitchen also affects newly built houses and apartments.
If the situation is not dealt with immediately, it can turn into a much bigger problem. Excessive humidity causes mold, which spreads very quickly and forms not only on walls, but also on furniture, floors and carpets. Unfortunately, molds are also the source of many health problems, respiratory diseases and allergies.
Eliminate moisture from salts
One of the cheapest but effective solutions is to use common kitchen salt. This is because it is a hygroscopic substance and can therefore absorb atmospheric moisture. In addition, salt can also deal with unpleasant odors, which it successfully eliminates.
How to use salt
Simply pour salt into a few small bowls and place them in locations where excess moisture appears and may already be showing in some way. Do not forget about hard-to-reach corners and spaces. Change the salt regularly. As soon as it absorbs moisture, the method will not work 100%.
Rice also helps
Raw rice also has similar abilities, which is why it can also be used to absorb increased humidity in living rooms. The use is exactly the same as in the case of rice.
Arrange the furniture better
If you have been dealing with moisture at home for a long time, also consider how you have furniture under construction. There should always be a certain gap between the walls and the furniture, so that the places where the flowing air is accessible. In winter, there should be no furniture even near radiators, so that the warm air can circulate as well as possible throughout the space. And definitely don’t forget to ventilate regularly and properly.
