Tips for coping with humidity-related issues in the home

Humidity in the home affects your comfort, health, safety, and finances. Here are some tips on how to combat these problems:

  • Do a humidity check:

To find out what conditions are like inside the home, check humidity levels with a humidity meter. Ideally, humidity levels should be between 30% and 60%, but levels within this range can potentially cause problems, too. If humidity levels are high, humidify the home; this can be achieved by increasing the air's humidity with houseplants or purchasing a dehumidifier. If humidity levels are low, consider increasing ventilation by opening windows and doors.

  • Air-dry clothes:

Avoid washing clothes in humid conditions by drying them outside. This might mean picking them up several times a day.

  • Choose the right wood:

Instead of using wood for floors, ceilings, and walls, consider other building materials like concrete or tiles.

  • Open windows:

If you keep your windows open, you will let air in from outside. This air usually contains moisture. As a result, your home will take longer to dry after being wet. Therefore, it will increase the humidity inside your house.

One way to prevent an increase in humidity in your home is to open your windows for a few minutes a day. This will bring in the fresh air. It will also allow some of the moisture outside to escape. However, you should close your windows as soon as the sun goes down so that your home can get cooler.

Another way to decrease your indoor humidity levels is to improve your ventilation. This can involve opening your windows during the day, especially when the weather is sunny. However, it should also involve opening your windows at night. This will create more airflow throughout your house. This can lower the humidity levels throughout your home.

  • Use air-conditioning:

Invest in an air conditioner and test it regularly.

  • Choose the right flooring:

Avoid carpeting (which retains moisture) and opt for vinyl or laminate floors.
