The bedroom is a place to rest and relax after tiring hours of work and study. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the bedroom clean and airy, especially during prolonged storms, when it is very susceptible to mold.
Accordingly, housewives should regularly open windows and doors when the weather is dry to help air circulation. Maintaining air circulation not only helps remove moisture but also prevents the accumulation of mold spores in the living space.
If it is raining heavily outside, use a ventilation fan or dehumidifier to help keep the bedroom clean and airy. In particular, a dehumidifier will help reduce humidity effectively in the bedroom, especially during the "long rainy season".
If your family does not have a dehumidifier, you can use the air conditioner in “Dry” mode to help balance the humidity in the living space. In addition, electronic devices such as vacuum cleaners can also be used to clean areas in the room that are prone to mold.
To keep the bedroom clean and airy, it is necessary to maintain regular cleaning. Housewives also need to pay attention to items that easily absorb moisture such as curtains, carpets, bedding, pillows and mattresses. Regular washing and drying will help eliminate bacteria and mold, preventing their growth.
Using natural deodorizers such as coffee grounds or dried tea leaves is also very effective when stuffed into corners of rooms, in closets or under beds to absorb moisture and eliminate odors.
In addition, activated carbon and quicklime are also natural materials with strong moisture absorption capacity. Place a few activated carbon tablets or quicklime bags in places prone to mold to maintain the dryness of the bedroom. At the same time, you can take advantage of salt or baking soda - both are natural moisture absorbers.
In case you find mold on your walls or floors, treat it immediately to prevent it from spreading further. Cleaning solutions such as white vinegar and mold remover can be used to clean the affected areas. Be sure to use a dry cloth or rag to wipe off the solution after use.
To avoid mold in the bedroom, it is necessary to maintain a stable temperature and humidity. The ideal humidity in the living space is usually between 40% - 60%. If you feel that the bedroom is too humid, try using a thermometer and hygrometer for better control.
Air conditioners or dehumidifiers will help adjust the humidity level appropriately, creating a cool, comfortable space to relax in the bedroom.
