4 tips for absorbing moisture at environmentally friendly homes

HÂN NGHIÊN (THEO STEP TO HEALTH) |

In addition to the devices sold on the market, you can pump moisture into your home with natural products that are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Raw salt

Raw salt helps absorb steam in the air.

Ingredients: 100 - 150 g rough salt; 1 empty can (without a lid) or 1 bottle (must be clean); 1 piece of fabric (may be an old sock).

How to do: Squeeze some holes into the bottom of the can. If using bottles, you can cut the bottles in half and place them in a funny shape, creating a hole in the lid. Place the fabric and add salt. Then, leave it in a place with high humidity and the bottom holes are not covered. Salt should be replaced every week or every 10 days and at least 3 times/month.

Green tree

In addition to decoration, some types of indoor crops that can absorb moisture such as dragon bones, usually spring, mint, xiu xi, bamboo, calathea ( practice-ful tree species), Tillandsia (air plant species), hydrangeas, bamboo, lily...

Firewood

Wood can control mold and high humidity. The foam structure of coal helps absorb moisture well, neutralizing odor.

Ingredients: 1 plastic soda bottle (hollow) or 1 can or bottle (can contain coffee); charcoal (enough to fill 1⁄2 bottle or can, container); 1 knife or 1 scissor.

How to do: dig a hole in the container and pour charcoal into half the container. Then, place in a humid place and should replace charcoal regularly (15 - 30 days/time).

An alternative to making your own dehumidifier is using a small cloth bag (which can be a fabric or belt). In this case, the wood pieces must be smaller. You can place them in different corners of the house or hang them on your door handles.

Rice combined with salt and baking soda

When combined with salt and baking soda, the rice can effectively deodorize and remove odor in the closet.

Ingredients: Rice; baking soda; salt; 1 box without a lid; plastic film; tape or wire.

How to do: Add a little baking soda, rice and salt to a bowl in equal amounts, mix well. (The amount depends on the humidity and space, it can be a cup for each ingredient). Then, cover the food with film, fix it with tape or rope and open many holes. Place where you need to adjust the moisture and check occasionally to replace the mixture.
