The humid season in the North will create conditions for bacteria and mold to grow. Therefore, in order to ensure a dry and safe living environment, the use of a dehumidifier is chosen by many families.
However, after a long time of use, the humidifier can accumulate a lot of dirt, so properly cleaning the humidifier will help ensure effective operation as well as durability of the device.
According to some studies, a dehumidifier that works continuously in a humid environment will easily accumulate a lot of dirt, bacteria and mold inside parts such as air filter, water bottle and pipes.
If not cleaned regularly, the humidifier will have the opposite effect, causing negative impacts on health, especially the respiratory system. In addition, dust and debris that stick to it for a long time can reduce the performance of the humidifier, increase power consumption and reduce the life of the device.
Housewives should perform regular cleaning by using a soft towel soaked in warm water to remove dirt and marks on the surface of the machine. Avoid using strong detergents or solvents that can harm the device.
Next, remove the air filter from the machine according to the instructions, rinse the filter with warm water, and use a soft brush to remove dirt and plaque. After washing, let the film completely dry before reinstalling it in the machine.
The jar of water is removed from the machine, pour out the remaining water in the jar and rinse with warm water and soap gently. Use a soft brush to clean the corners and patches of dirt that have been around for a long time. Rinse with clean water and dry before reinstalling it in the machine.
sanitize the water pipes (if any) by checking the water pipes to see if they are clogged or dirty. Use small sticks or appropriate tools to remove dirt inside the pipe before rinsing with warm water and then drying it before reinstalling.
clean the sensors and air vents when using cotton towers or small brooms to clean the sensors and air vents, ensuring no dirt in the machine.
Housewives should ensure that properly and regularly cleaning the humidifier will ensure air quality in the family and protect the health of members.
Especially in the humid season in the North, maintaining a clean and effective humidifier will play an important role in creating a dry and safe living environment.
