Quicklime is an excellent way to remove moisture from your home. 1 kg of quicklime can absorb about 0.3 kg of moisture in the air, which can be regarded as a good and simple adsorbent. Wrap quicklime with cloth or sacks and place them in various places in the room. Put an appropriate amount of lime in small cloth bags and place them in different corners of the room. Lime itself has the function of absorbing moisture and can also reduce the humidity in the room. At the same time, lime also has a disinfecting effect, killing two birds with one stone.

If it rains continuously, the humidity outside will be very high and you should close the doors and windows to prevent moisture from entering. In normal times, you need to ventilate the room frequently. This will reduce the moisture content in the room, especially in newly renovated houses, which have a lot of moisture and odor and need more ventilation to remove moisture and odor.

You can buy soap in the supermarket and spread it around the room. Close the doors and windows when no one is around, and create ventilation when people are around. This will be more effective. The sodium ions in ordinary soap can remove moisture and odors.
