Coarse salt can have multiple uses. We usually use it for cooking, or to degrease, perhaps together with vinegar, bicarbonate, etc.
In fact, few people know that it can also be useful as a dehumidifier . Excess humidity is a problem that occurs in any home during winter and autumn, especially during particularly rainy seasons . Generally, when it is cold, everything is kept closed, windows, balconies, so the steam after showering and cooking is trapped in the house .
The inevitable consequence is the formation of dampness on the walls and therefore mould . Sometimes dampness is also caused by water draining from and to balconies, both in condominiums and single-family homes. Dampness forms easily, just as easily turns into mould and is then almost impossible to remove.
Humidity in the house, because mold forms.
The solution that comes to mind is to buy dehumidifiers , which are expensive and do not always give the desired result, because the humidity persists. Some people buy dehumidifiers, fans, vacuum cleaners, anti-mold spray products, but the end result is almost always disappointing.
First of all, you have to pay attention to the small mistakes that you make every day. For example, when you turn on the stove , whether it is one or more, you should always turn on the hood, even if it is very noisy and annoying. If the weather permits, so that it does not rain and it does not get cold, it is necessary to keep the windows open, even better if you have large windows, which let in much more air. In this case, the recirculation is greater and the humidity is better contrasted.
When you shower, you turn on the fans, or even in this case, you open the windows. Finally, it is best not to hang very wet clothes at home, because it is true that with the heat that is artificially created in winter they dry faster than outside, but it is also true that the water that evaporates is absorbed by the walls and then turns into mold. Those who have plants on the balcony make another mistake, that is, they pour too much water into the saucers, which then comes out and stagnates .
This makes the indoor environment unhealthy and therefore unsuitable for children. A damp and mouldy house also smells bad and becomes problematic to live in. We must act and solve the problem quickly and in any way possible.
