Moisture-proof single product

● The king of moisture absorption/Ke Chaoling

Moisture absorption king/Ke Chaoling, as the name implies, is a master of moisture absorption. Can be placed in various closets, wardrobes, shoe cabinets and even pianos, and can be placed anywhere.

Everything made of wood and cotton is most afraid of getting wet, even audio-visual products, calligraphy and painting, cultural relics, documents and files. Can't be affected by moisture for a long time. The most suitable environment for mold growth is humid environment. Things that are wet for a long time are prone to mildew. Therefore, putting these small objects in it can prevent moisture and mildew. Some products also have the functions of preventing insects and increasing natural fragrance, and are indispensable small objects for moisture-proof life at home.

Main points of purchase: Many water-absorbing boxes and bags look similar in size and volume, but their prices are different. At this time, we should pay attention, because calcium chloride or water-absorbing resin plays a role in water-absorbing products, and its content directly affects the number of water-absorbing points. Therefore, when purchasing, we must pay attention to the content of calcium chloride or water-absorbing resin indicated on the package, the number of milliliters of water-absorbing point, and the size of applicable space. In addition, it should be noted that chemicals such as calcium chloride are toxic, and these products should be kept out of the reach of children to prevent accidental eating.

● Reserve charcoal

It is a good moisture-proof product. Beichang charcoal is known as a natural green moisture-proof and odor-removing product. Its moisture-proof principle is mainly through its porous characteristics, absorbing odor, releasing negative ions, adjusting humidity, and improving the damp and moldy situation of various wardrobes.

Some products also combine the deodorizing elements of conifers to swallow, neutralize and decompose odors. These products are natural multi-effect environmental protection products.

Buying points:

At present, the reserve charcoal on the market has different uses and shapes, some are used to dehumidify lunch boxes and insects, some are used to deodorize shoes and some are used to dehumidify wardrobes. You can choose the right items according to your own needs.

● candles

It can not only beautify the living room, but also be a practical dehumidifying helper. Almost all candles have a certain dehumidification function, but this is easily overlooked, because candles are more of a lighting function in people's minds.

There are many kinds of functional candles in the market to beautify the room, such as aromatherapy candles, jelly candles, floating candles, tealight, table candles and so on.

If you think the room is too humid, lighting candles can also reduce the humidity of the indoor air. The principle is simple, so that water vapor cannot condense, thus reducing indoor humidity.

In addition, if there is a musty smell at home, you can choose an aromatherapy candle containing natural plant essential oil, which can not only dry the air, but also remove the musty smell indoors.

Usage: Please take off the outer package before lighting the candle, and avoid flammable materials and places where children or pets can reach. It is recommended to put it on a candlestick or candle tray to ensure safety and keep the furniture surface clean.

Trim the wick to 0.5-0.7 cm before each ignition, so that there will be no black smoke when burning. Don't put it in the windward, lest the candle burn obliquely to the edge of the candle, forming ugly candle liquid or candle drops;

If there is no candle fire extinguisher when putting out the candle, you can put your index finger in front of the candle. When blowing, the airflow will bypass your fingers and put out the fire on both sides of the candle, which is easier than eating directly.

If wax oil drips on furniture, you can melt the candle block with an iron and suck it clean to avoid scratching the furniture surface. If wax oil drops on the carpet, it can be spread out with kraft paper and ironed lightly with an iron, and then it can be removed smoothly.

Before putting the candle into the candle cup or candlestick, add a small amount of water into the cup, which makes it easier to replace the candle and avoid damaging the candlestick.

When the candle burns, adding a little salt particles beside the wick can make the candle more beautiful and prolong the burning time;

Incense candles can use the candle principle to burn the smell first, and then disperse the aromatic molecules into the air, but it is not suitable for dining, because the smell of food may be covered up;

Avoid lighting candles without fragrance at the same time in the same space; It is recommended to stop lighting candles every 2-3 hours.

Moisture-proof household appliances

● When it comes to airflow fans to remove moisture, some people may disagree. In fact, through the rotation of the fan, indoor air circulation can be driven to achieve the effect of dehumidification. Especially for those who choose to decorate in Huangmei season, the airflow fan is definitely a good helper with excellent cost performance and great function. Whether it is to help the wall paint dry quickly, or to dehumidify and deodorize furniture and wood floors in paint decoration, it is helpful.

Tips for purchasing: At present, the airflow fan on the market has a 360-degree rotation, and the computer-controlled digital speed regulation negative ion refreshing function has a better dehumidification and odor removal effect.

● How strong is the dehumidification effect of air conditioner/dehumidifier? People who often work in air-conditioned rooms must know that in addition to dehumidifying with air conditioners, they can also dehumidify with special dehumidifiers. Clothes are hard to dry in Huangmei season, and it is easy to smell mildew. The powerful dehumidifier has the function of drying clothes, which can effectively remove the moisture in the kitchen, clothes drying place and bathroom and keep the room dry.

Tips for purchasing: Moisture extraction, water tank capacity and drainage system are the hardware indicators of dehumidifier. Pay attention to whether the product has the function of intelligent humidity adjustment, what the drainage system is like, whether there is a protective cover, how much wind speed to adjust, whether there is a visible water level, whether the air filter can be replaced, etc.

In addition, if you want to use dehumidifier to dehumidify different rooms, it is recommended to buy products with pulleys or handles to facilitate movement.

Moisture-proof and dehumidification skills:

● Close the window in the morning and evening. The most important period of moistureproof is in the morning and evening of every day. The air humidity in these two periods is higher than that at noon. If the doors and windows are not closed in time, water vapor will seriously penetrate into every corner of the house.

● Close the doors and windows facing south or southeast (i.e. against the wind) in rainy days, and only open the doors and windows in the downwind direction to reduce water vapor from entering the room. When the weather clears up, all doors and windows can be opened to accelerate the evaporation of water;

● If you feel that the doors and windows are closed and the indoor air cannot circulate, it is recommended to open the window for a short time at noon;

Lime is an adsorbent, and 1 kg quicklime can adsorb about 0.3 kg of water in the air. In rainy days, quicklime can be wrapped in cloth or sacks and kept indoors to keep the indoor air dry.

● Sofas, carpets, quilts, pillows and even plush toys are easy to get wet. For fabric sofas and carpets, it is necessary to regularly remove the dust on their surfaces, and if necessary, gently blow them with a hair dryer to help dispel the moisture. As soon as the weather clears up, we should seize the opportunity to put wet home decorations in the sun;

● It is best to wipe wrought iron furniture with clean water or a soft cleaner. In case of wet weather, it is best to clean it with a dry rag.

If it is solid wood furniture, it should be coated with special cleaning agent and gently wiped.

In addition, there is a good way to damp-proof wooden furniture, that is, stick some absorbent paper or plastic paper on the surface of wooden furniture. For leather sofas, you can put some desiccant properly and keep it dry;

● For families undergoing renovation, you can put some charcoal and camphor wood blocks under the paved floor. Charcoal has the function of moisture absorption, which can keep the floor dry and not easy to deform, and camphor wood has the function of moth prevention. Putting some camphor wood can effectively prevent the floor from being eaten by insects.
