How to prevent the kitchen from breeding mold?

Humidity is the main cause of mold growth, so mold growth must be prevented:

When humid air strikes, always remember to close the windows at home, especially those facing south and southeast, so as not to give the moisture outside the window any chance to sneak in. The most important period of moisture protection is every morning and evening, and 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.

The most convenient way to prevent indoor humidity is to use a dehumidifier or turn on the air conditioner from time to time to extract the moisture from the air. In summer, they can be used to prevent the indoor air from being too humid, which leads to the humidity of the home, especially the wood products and wooden floors.

Lime is a simple hygroscopic agent, and 1 kg quicklime can absorb about 0.3 kg of water in the air. Put the lime in a wooden box and cover it when the weather is low; When the weather is wet, open the lid and don't open the big window at the same time, which can keep the indoor air dry and pleasant.

The weather is humid and the cabinets in the kitchen are often moldy. Opening the door of the cupboard for a long time can ventilate and prevent mildew, but there is also a lot of dust. For example, lay a newspaper on the bottom of the cupboard, or even stick a newspaper on the inside of the cupboard door. Newspapers can absorb moisture and achieve the effect of mildew prevention; And the smell of ink in the newspaper can repel insects.

At present, there are many desiccants specially used for moisture-proof and dehumidification in the market, and reasonable placement can achieve good moisture-proof effect. There are two most common types: moisture absorption box and dehumidification bag. Generally, the absorption box has various scents, and it is suitable to be placed between the corner of the sofa and the living room, under the bed in the bedroom and under the cupboard in the kitchen. The dehumidifying bag made of absorbent resin and charcoal is suitable for being placed in closed spaces such as wardrobes and shoe cabinets. After a period of use, the substances in the moisture absorption box can be taken out, and the bulk desiccant can be purchased and put into the box for reuse.
