Since the bathroom is known to be the most humid room in the house, be sure to seal the joints around the bathtub, shower and sink. Adding a heater can help dry the air. Install a towel radiator. If this is not possible, there are small heaters that you turn on before washing and turn off again fifteen minutes later.
Consider the dehumidifier
You can buy a dehumidifier commercially. You can choose between a chemical device or an electrical device.
The first works on the principle of condensation. It contains one tablet or cartridge of sodium chloride. This causes moisture to be absorbed and converted into water. Then just empty the trash. An electric dehumidifier, on the other hand, draws in the humid air contained in the room, dries it, cools it and then heats it to a temperature corresponding to that of the room in which it is located. The air comes out free of humidity
Watch the cabinets.
When you open your cupboards, an unpleasant musty smell emerges. It’s probably due to humidity. To suck them up, simply place a few pieces of charcoal in a box with a lid that is perforated in places. A natural and effective method that doesn’t cost you much.
Also make sure the furniture is a few inches away from the walls. When there is humidity, air must circulate to prevent mold from forming.
