Northerners are afraid of the tide when they come to Hangzhou. How to prevent it?

Moisture-proofing is not only a matter for southerners, northerners’ homes should also be moisture-proof. It is rainy in summer and the dampness of the room not only affects the indoor furniture, but also greatly harms the health of the residents and induces colds, rheumatism, asthma and other diseases. Therefore, how to "dehumidify" has become a worry for many people.

Three wonderful ways to prevent moisture in the room

1. Intermittent ventilation method: On cloudy and rainy days, close the doors and windows facing the south or southeast (i.e., the upwind direction), and only open the doors and windows in the downwind direction, which can reduce Water vapor enters the room. When the weather clears up, all doors and windows can be opened to speed up the evaporation of water.

2. Lime moisture absorption method: Lime is an adsorbent. 1 kilogram of quicklime can absorb about 0.3 kilograms of moisture in the air. On rainy days, quicklime can be wrapped in cloth or sacks and placed anywhere in the room to keep the indoor air dry.

3. Indoor heating method: Burn a pot of charcoal fire and put it on the stove in a damp room (pay attention to ventilation) to increase the indoor temperature, which can prevent water vapor from condensing, thereby reducing indoor humidity.
