Dehumidifiers are a must-have household appliance for many families, especially in southern regions, where the air is relatively humid. Humid air can damage furniture, breed bacteria, and affect the health of family members. So what does a dehumidifier do? Let’s take a look.
Dehumidification. Obviously, the primary function of a dehumidifier is to dehumidify, i.e., to treat the water molecules in the air and then discharge the dry air out of the machine to keep the indoor humidity at a suitable level of relative humidity and improve indoor humidity.
Drying clothes. Clothes do not dry quickly in humid weather, but a dehumidifier can dry their clothes quickly. When the dehumidifier is activated, clothes can dry overnight in humid weather, making for beautiful spring weather.
Reduces bacterial growth. Dehumidifiers reduce the growth of bacteria by reducing the humidity in the air. An environment with high humidity is a breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria to multiply rapidly. If the humidity level falls below 60%, bacteria and harmful microorganisms are significantly reduced.
Protecting household items. In addition to reducing the humidity of the air, dehumidifiers are also effective in preventing the return of moisture to furniture items, household appliances, luxury goods, and foodstuffs. When the dehumidifier reduces humidity, it indirectly protects these household items from the dangers of water.
Reduced incidence of disease. When air humidity is reduced, bacteria are less likely to multiply, and moisture is less pronounced. The human body is in a relatively relaxed state, which can reduce the incidence of diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis, neuralgia, bronchitis, and asthma.
