Rainfall is more frequent in autumn and winter. Then it is easy for moisture to settle on steamy windows and in the bathroom. In a small room, the humidity level is much higher. The lack of a window prevents ventilation.
Moisture creates ideal conditions for the growth of mold and fungi, especially in joints, silicone, corners and on the ceiling.. It may also damage wooden elements, e.g. cabinets or doors. A bigger problem is causing allergic reactions and breathing difficulties in people with asthma. Moreover, steamy mirrors and windows make the room uncomfortable to use. For example, towels take longer to dry.
However, you can prevent all these situations with home remedies using things we already have at home. We will turn them into a natural air absorber and forget about the problem of moisture.
We can significantly cut back on the bathroom. First of all, we must ventilate this room after each bath. If there are no windows, we open the door wide. It is recommended that they be open for one hour.
We should not dry towels and laundry in the bathroombecause then the air is moistened even more. Then drying takes twice as long. So it’s better to take these things to a larger room, or preferably hang them outside (if the weather allows it).
Let’s also not forget to clean the ventilation grilles regularly. Elements covered with dust prevent free air flow.
We can get rid of moisture from the bathroom using natural absorbers, which are useful when using the bathroom frequently. Thanks to them, mold or fungi will not develop.
How to make a natural moisture absorber? First, we cut a small piece of natural material, i.e. cotton or linen. However, we do not choose polyester fabrics because they absorb water less well.
In the middle of such material pour out half a cup of uncooked rice and add a few drops of essential oil to it. Tie everything with a ribbon or rubber band and hang it next to the shower.
Why does it work? It’s mainly about rice, which absorbs moisture from the air. In turn, essential oils emit a pleasant scent. However, remember to replace the moisture absorber regularly, preferably every week. Only then will it fulfill its role effectively.
