How to remove moisture indoors

The weather in summer is always very humid. In these humid days, if the indoor humidity is not properly eliminated, the body will also cause many diseases. For example, if it is too humid, the body will easily cause joint pain, phlegm-damp constitution, and damp-heat constitution. Then how to solve the indoor humidity has become a key issue, especially for many wooden floors in homes. The wooden floors will also be harmed. If we want to solve the problem of indoor humidity, we must first understand how to remove moisture indoors.

On humid days, if the general anti-moisture methods do not achieve the expected results, individual moisture phenomena will occur. It would be advisable to provide special care in a targeted manner according to each of the “severely affected corners”. Due to their different characteristics, different "hard-hit areas" have personalized dehumidification methods.

1. Wooden floor

Damage conditions: The wooden floor was slippery, and obvious footprints were found on it. Black mold was found at the interface between the wooden floor and the skirting.

Solution: Ground moisture is an important reason why wooden floors become damp, moldy, and even rotten. The laying of wooden floors is an important part of laying a good foundation for moisture-proofing. After the wooden floor is laid, it is best to use it for a while and then ask a professional to wax it. This can evaporate the moisture remaining during construction as much as possible and extend the service life of the wooden floor. In addition, Japan has developed a moisture-proof film specifically for wooden floors, which can be laid on the surface of wooden floors to isolate the contact surface between wooden floors and air and better maintain wooden floors.

Daily moisture-proof tips

As spring begins in Chengdu, homes will be filled with lingering moisture. Facing a wet living environment, people at home should prepare for it. To do a good job of moisture-proofing, you must first understand the basic prevention methods:

1. It is necessary to close the windows in time

Director Wang of the Air Quality Monitoring Center recommends that when humid spring air arrives, residents must remember to close the windows in their homes, especially the south and southeast windows, to prevent the moisture lurking outside from having any chance to sneak in.

The most important time for moisture prevention is every morning and evening. The air humidity during these two periods is higher than at noon. If the doors and windows are not closed in time, water vapor will seriously penetrate into every corner of the home. In addition, if you feel that the doors and windows are closed and the indoor air cannot circulate, it is recommended that you open the doors and windows more often at noon and in the afternoon.

The first thing we need to pay attention to is to keep the outside air dry and ventilated. After mopping the floor, open the windows immediately to ventilate and dry it as soon as possible. Avoid closing doors and windows. Failure to open windows for ventilation for a long time will cause a lack of air circulation in the room, and more and more dryness will slowly dissipate.
