Deleting humidity in the bedroom may seem like an expert thing, but sometimes the solution is there, at hand: a cup. Yes, just a cup. One of those simple ideas that make you smile and think “but really works?”.
With all that is on the market between dehumidifiers, fragrant sprays and smart devices, nobody would think that it is enough such a common object to improve the air in the room. Yet it happens. There condensation on the glassthat smell of closed that does not leave, the sheets that always seem a little humid … it takes little to lighten everything.
It is worth trying immediately, even just out of curiosity. It takes two minutes, no expense, no cable, no complications. Only fourteen words to start eliminating humidity in the bedroom with a natural gesture. It is one of those little things that, if they work, become routine. And over time, one wonders how it was done before. On the other hand, often the most effective solutions are also the simplest, only that we forget to look at them closely.
Humidity and well -being: because the bedroom is affected more than the other rooms
There are those who live with humidity without even realizing it, until the problems begin: Muga stainsclosed nose when awakening, clothes that smell cellar. Strange, right? Just the bedroom, the place where you should breathe better, is often the one most subject to these discomfort. He blames himself to the rain, the old house, to heating. All true. But sometimes it is forgotten that breath also releases humidity. And during the night, with everything closed, it is as if a small greenhouse was created. There are also other details to keep an eye on: towels left there, too many plants, furniture too close to the walls. Everything affects.
And then, perhaps it makes sense to better observe that hidden microclimate that ruins comfort. Because often, making the difference, it is not technology but attention to detail.
The trick of the cup: simple, cheap and surprising
Ok, but this glass What does he do? It looks like a joke, but it’s all true. Some materials manage to “absorb” the humidity of the air. The best known? The salt. Then there are the bicarbonate and the raw rice. All ingredients that perhaps are already in the pantry.
He takes a cup, perhaps a nice cup of heavy ceramic, fills it with one of these materials and stands in the room. Where? In front of the window, next to the bedside table, near the closet. After a few days, you will notice that the content has swelling, compacted or moistened. Yes, he is doing his job.
Some ideas? A pinch of creativity does not hurt:
- Coarse salt with a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender or tea tree
- Rice in a bowl covered with a gauze
- Bicarbonate in a glass to change every week
Works? Depends. Do not expect miracles, especially if there are infiltrations or cold walls. But for a small room, or as a support to everything else, the result can really amaze.
Other precautions against humidity in the bedroom to combine with the cup method
A cup does not make spring. But it can be a good start, if flanked by some other little attention. As if to say: many small gestures, a big difference.
Airing every day, even for a few minutes, is one of the most effective things. Even if it’s cold outside. Better two short drafts than hours with everything closed. And no, spreading the role in the room is not a good idea: they bring more humidity than you imagine. If there are walls facing north, perhaps cold to the touch, they must be carefully observed. They are often the critical point where condensation is formed.
Then there is the furniture. Better to avoid wardrobes too full or resting directly on the wall. Leaving some space circulates the air better. And watch out for too heavy fabrics that retain humidity. Finally, a green touch: some plants such as Sansevieria or Filodendro help absorb humidity, but without exaggerating with the number.
That’s all? Yes, more or less. After all, it is not a question of revolutionizing the house, but of making peace with the environment in which you sleep. Because humidity is silent, but leaves traces: walls that are stained, sheets never really dry, that strange feeling when you wake up that you cannot explain.
That’s why it is better to play in advance. Sometimes it takes very little. A cup, a pinch of salt, and a little attention.
That’s all. But who knows, maybe a habit that makes the nights will be born from that small gesture and the cleaner air.
