To keep the house dry and clean, you can apply some of the following measures:
Limit humidity intrusion
On days of high humidity, do not open the door too much because steam from the outside will easily make the floor and walls wet. Instead, close the door and use a humidifier or humidifier to maintain the humidity at an ideal level (about 50-60%). If you don't have a humidifier, you can use a fan to help the air circulate better.
Keep your home dry
Are sure to clean your home with a towel instead of water, as the water will prolong the moisture. To prevent mold, you can clean the floor with a salt water or diluted vinegar solution, which both helps kill bacteria and limits the growth of bacteria and mold. Don't forget to vacuum clean regularly, especially in areas that are prone to moisture such as carpets, curtains or corners of the wall.
Arrange furniture reasonably
When placing furniture, make sure it is at least 5-10 cm from the wall so that the air can circulate, avoiding mold sticking to the wall and objects. You can also place a dehumidifier, activated charcoal or lime powder in your wardrobe or corner of the house to absorb excess moisture.
treat immediately if there are signs of mold
Areas that are prone to mold such as bathrooms and kitchens need to be cleaned regularly. If you find a molded wall, scrap the mold layer and repaint it with waterproof paint. For items like wooden cabinets, you can use a dry towel to clean them, then apply a protective oil layer to limit the return of mold.
Dry clothes properly
On days when there is a lot of rain, it is very difficult for clothes to dry after being washed, and they can easily smell. Do not dry clothes indoors as this will increase humidity in the air. Instead, use a dryer or dry in a windy and breathable place.
Create ventilation for the space
Use a ventilation fan and a humidifier to help the air circulate, limiting the situation of pumpkin stings. Also, if there is sunlight, take advantage of opening the door at noon to dry the air in the house.
With the above tips, you can keep your home dry, clean and away from mold on wet days.
