There are many products or materials that naturally absorb moisture from the environment. Some of them are very common and can be easily found in any home, others are simple tricks to adopt.
- Room Ventilation
Ventilating by periodically opening windows is the most economical and effective method to avoid problems such as condensation.
It is also important that the rooms do not have very high temperatures inside during the winter. If you go to very humid areas, ventilation should be moderate as the outside humidity is higher than that of our home.
- Don’t turn the thermostat too high
Hot air is more humid than cold air, so it is advisable not to increase the temperature more than recommended to avoid condensation. This will also contain the heating costs that scare Italians in this period.
- Turning on the cooker hood when cooking
As this is another area of the house where humidity rises when cooking, this is a very effective trick.
If we add to this that we cook covering the pans to prevent the water from evaporating into the environment when it boils, all the better.
- Plants that absorb moisture.
Although removing excess humidity in the home can be solved with the purchase of a dehumidifier, it is true that there are ecological and economical solutions (which do not increase the electricity bill), through the use of plants that absorb moisture.
