The rainy and rainy place the home full of dampness. Not only does the clothes not dry, but the furniture is easy to get moldy. If you have a dehumidifier at home, the problem can be easily solved. But do you know the correct usage of dehumidifiers? The placement, usage time and usage environment of the dehumidifier are all knowledgeable. If you use it incorrectly, it will not only make the dehumidification effect worse, but it will also have other effects.
▼Error 1: Turn on the dehumidifier at night when you go to bed.
Using a dehumidifier when sleeping is not good for the body. The human body has a regulation mechanism, and even if it is in a confined space with a dehumidifier on, it is unlikely that an accident will occur due to loss of moisture. However, the Standard Inspection Bureau recommends that it is best not to use a dehumidifier when unattended or when sleeping at night. For safety, if you are not at home for a long time, you should turn off the power and unplug it.
Doctor advises: "If a person stays in the space with the dehumidifier on for a long time, although there will be no accident, the dehumidifier will produce hot air during operation, which may cause discomfort in people. It is better to return to the room when the dehumidifier has been completed. "
▼Error 2: Place the dehumidifier next to the wall.
In order to save space, many people place dehumidifiers by the wall. The instructions for using dehumidifiers published by the Standard Inspection Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs say: "When using the dehumidifier, it should be kept at an appropriate distance from the walls, furniture and curtains to avoid poor ventilation and causing the body to be dissipated with heat." Family expert Yang Xianying also analyzed: "The dehumidifier has a principle of circulation, so it should be placed in an empty place and cannot be against the wall. Once it is against the wall, it will cause insufficient circulation, and the dehumidification effect will be greatly discounted." In the past, some people placed the dehumidifier too close to the wall, resulting in poor return air effect, and finally the body temperature rose and fire.
▼Error 3: Put a glass of water next to the dehumidifier.
Some friends are used to putting a glass of water next to them when using a dehumidifier, thinking that the human body will not lose too much water. However, Yang Xianying believes that this behavior is not necessary. The environment in countries such as Japan is already very dry, so they use humidifiers. There is no need to put a glass of water next to it when using the dehumidifier. However, you can hold a cup of water when turning on the air conditioner to maintain the ambient humidity.
▼It is also recommended that you do not use dehumidifiers in a closed wardrobe or dressing room. Do not place clothes on top of dehumidifier when using a dehumidifier. The filter of the dehumidifier should be cleaned or replaced regularly to avoid dust adhering to it and affecting the dehumidification ability.
Are there any other dehumidifiers besides the dehumidifier? Experts recommend household electric fans and water glass. "Everyone should often see large electric fans blowing on the floor in some public toilets, because electric fans can not only quickly dissipate moisture and help air circulation, but also use less electricity than dehumidifiers. It is a very good dehumidifier helper."
Dehumidifiers cannot be used in the closet or dressing room, but dehumidifiers or water glass can be used. Water glass can be reused. After absorbing moisture, put it in a microwave or oven for heating, or expose it to the sun to allow the moisture to evaporate and reduce.
Experts believe that the most suitable humidity is usually below 65%, and everyone can set it between 50% and 60%. Most of the dehumidifiers can be set now, and only if the humidity in the home is too high will be operated.
Everyone should pay attention to the above points and use the dehumidifier safely~
