Get a dehumidifier
Before choosing a dehumidifier, consider the size of the room and the level of humidity it supports. You will then install the device in an area such as the basement or bathroom and then adjust it to the ideal humidity level, that is, between 40% and 60%. Initially, the dehumidifier will start by chasing excess humidity and then, once this excess is removed, it will take care of maintaining an ideal level of humidity. You can also benefit from the dehumidifying effect of certain houseplants.
How to prevent condensation problems?
When humid ambient air is exposed to a lower temperature surface, moisture does not escape from the room. As a result, small water droplets form around the window or in cold areas. To put an end to this condensation problem, it will be necessary to dry the walls before moving on to solutions to prevent this type of problem.
Prevents the condensation problem from returning
Open a window to help ventilate your home and check to see if air vents are blocked. If you’re not letting in fresh outside air, you can turn up the thermostat. Also, if you don’t have a dehumidifier, avoid drying clothes indoors.
