High air humidity is just as harmful as a lack of it. So you need to control its level at home. Here are several great ideas on how you can make a DIY dehumidifier or how to remove moisture from the air naturally and on a budget. Read on!
We’ve recently made a few DIY humidifiers, but it goes both ways. Too much moisture in the air is just as bad as having it too dry (sometimes it’s even worse.) So now let’s make a DIY dehumidifier. Alternatively, we’ve included several possibilities on how to decrease humidity naturally. So read on.
What are your options to create a homemade dehumidifier?
- First of all, you have to keep in mind that ventilation is your friend (unless you live in a very humid area). So using existing fans and AC units as well as leaving windows open will help you get rid of moisture.
- Secondly, you need to watch your (and your family’s) habits of creating moisture in the first place. Taking long showers, cooking, leaving clothes to dry indoors accumulates moisture inside and builds up humidity.
- To create a simple dehumidifier you can use simple household items and products that naturally absorb moisture. So even a bag of salt will do that.
- You can get organic or chemical products (such as charcoal) that do that as well.
Now, let’s get into more detail bit by bit, tutorial by tutorial.
