What is the best way to keep the house moist?

Overall moistureproof, get twice the result with half the effort.

When it comes to moistureproof, we will understand it as a single item, but there are many kinds of items in each family, so it is difficult to concentrate on moistureproof for each item. In this case, it can get twice the result with half the effort to protect the home environment from moisture. Moreover, the overall moistureproof of the family also helps to improve the comfort of life.

Yesterday, the reporter visited some professionals on how to prevent moisture in the whole house during the rainy season, and also learned from some citizens who have a lot of life experience about the "coup" of moisture prevention in their daily lives.

Timely window opening and moisture-proof ventilation

In humid weather, whether to open the window makes many families feel very contradictory. Open the window, in case of high humidity outside, it is easy to bring a lot of humidity into the house. No, people can't ventilate indoors, which is very uncomfortable.

In fact, even in rainy season, it is necessary to open the window. The question is how to open the window and when is the best time to open it. Professionals told reporters. In humid weather, the way to open the window should be to close the doors and windows facing south or southeast, that is, in the windward direction, and only open the doors and windows in the downwind direction to reduce the entry of water vapor into the room. The air from the south wind is the wettest, and the furniture will be moldy if it is not done.

When the weather turns fine, all doors and windows can be opened to accelerate the evaporation of water. However, the outdoor air humidity is at the highest value at noon, so it is not suitable to open the window. It should be adjusted in the afternoon or at night when the climate is dry.

In addition, when opening the north window, we should also pay attention to the distance between the window and the north building. If the distance is too close, it will reflect the air from the south. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the window opening time.

Several simple methods

Might as well give it a try

Among the citizens, some experienced experts also introduced some simple methods to reporters.

Uncle Liu, who lives in Wubao Street, said that using quicklime can remove the moisture in the house very well. 1 kg quicklime can absorb about 0.3 kg of water in the air, which can be regarded as a good simple adsorbent. Wrap the quicklime in cloth or sack and put it indoors to keep the indoor air dry.

Some residents burn a pot of charcoal fire or put a stove in a humid room to raise the indoor temperature so that the water vapor can't condense, thus reducing the indoor humidity. This is also a way. However, this move must pay attention to ventilation, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Now many air conditioners have the function of dehumidification. This method is simple and feasible, but its effect is slow. In order to save energy, it is better to use less.

Little things have great influence.

Yesterday, after visiting several supermarkets, the reporter found that many citizens have begun to buy mildew-proof and dehumidifying products. Various products such as moisture-absorbing boxes, dehumidifying bags, moisture-proof and mildew-proof cakes and mothballs are sought after by consumers. For example, water-absorbing boxes, common water-absorbing products on the market, generally take calcium chloride particles as the main component, and most of them also add essence components, which can integrate dehumidification, fragrance, mildew prevention, deodorization and other functions, and are mostly used in wardrobes and shoe cabinets; The principle of moisture-absorbing bag is similar to that of moisture-absorbing box, and it is mostly used to seal the space. The content is mainly water-absorbing resin, which becomes jelly-like after water absorption and is not easy to disperse into powder. Can be widely used for moisture absorption of clothes, electrical appliances and the like, and has good effect.

In fact, it is not necessary to buy professional dehumidification equipment to prevent moisture, and some simple small items can also have an "immediate" effect. There are also many wastes that can be used in daily life, such as desiccant in food bags. If you pay attention to the collection at ordinary times, put it in a sealed container and take it out when necessary. In addition, charcoal and bamboo charcoal can also play a good role in moisture prevention and odor removal. Take a cloth bag, put charcoal or bamboo charcoal in it, and tie the mouth of the bag tightly to make a simple moisture-proof bag. After use, it can be used repeatedly in the sun, which can be described as good quality and low price.

Moisture-proof articles

Household items have their own emphasis on moistureproof.

Wet weather will bring adverse effects on our daily necessities to a great extent. Some items go bad and taste bad, while others have performance degradation and even potential safety hazards. So our moistureproof work can start with all kinds of important items.

Moistureproof clothes

Humidity index: ★★★★ Humidity

Symptoms: deformation, odor, mildew.

Moisture-proof measures: using desiccant, active drying,

For people who often wash clothes, Huang Meitian is the biggest headache: clothes are easy to get wet, but they can't do it because they haven't seen the sun for a long time ... In the rainy season, it is unrealistic to expect the sun to show more, so some "old experiences" have to mention: Don't put away the worn clothes immediately, put them away first, and then put them in the cabinet or box after the sweat and rain are removed; After washing clothes, take a hot water bottle to dry, and then hang it to dry; You can use electric fans, hair dryers, etc. Drying clothes ...

Washing clothes is the basis of moistureproof and mildewproof. Moisture in clothes can lead to the reproduction and growth of mold or eggs. So clothes must be thoroughly dried before they can be put into the cupboard. Moisture-proof agent should be hung about 10 cm above clothes to make its effective components fully volatilize and achieve good results. In the rainy season, the door of the storage box should be opened as little as possible to avoid mildew of fabrics with strong hygroscopicity such as cotton, hemp, silk and wool. Sweaters, trousers and high-grade clothes should not be stored in plastic bags to avoid moisture accumulation and mildew in clothes. Leather clothing must be placed in a dry place, with mothballs with good effect, and don't press other items on it. All wool and cashmere should avoid direct sunlight.

Moisture-proof furniture

Humidity index: ★★★★★★★ Humidity

Symptoms: Paint peeling, rusting, cracking and deformation.

Moisture-proof measures: desiccant dehumidification

How to keep the indoor space dry and comfortable is a big problem, especially for furniture made of different materials at home. It is a pity that the life of furniture will be shortened sharply if it is expensive to buy. Furniture made of metal, leather and solid wood belongs to "the corner seriously affected by the disaster", and especially needs targeted special care.

For leather furniture, excessive humidity will lead to rapid aging of leather, so there are leather furniture at home. After dust removal, it is best to apply mink oil, sheep oil and leather oil on its surface, which can not only soften leather, but also prevent moisture and mildew. Metal furniture should always be scrubbed with a damp cloth and a soft cleaner, and should not be used in a humid environment as far as possible, and attention should be paid to waterproof and moistureproof. In case of wet weather, it is best to clean it with a dry rag.

Now many solid wood furniture have undergone strict drying process before leaving the factory, but this does not mean that it can be moisture-proof. To deal with the water drops on wooden furniture, dry cloth can be soaked in special cleaning agent for wooden furniture, and a protective film can be formed on the surface of wooden furniture to prevent water vapor from infiltrating into the interior of wooden furniture to some extent.

Solid wood furniture is also vulnerable to moisture, and wood is easy to expand and mold when it is wet. In this case, you might as well put a piece of soap in a moldy place, or put dry tea residue in a gauze bag to help eliminate the musty smell.

Rattan furniture is relatively moisture-proof. The advantage of rattan furniture is that it will return to its original shape and size after drying and wetting. Therefore, when rattan furniture is damp, as long as its weaving shape and its gap are not deformed, it is ok.

Moisture-proof household appliances

Humidity index: ★★

Symptoms of dampness: difficulty in starting, short circuit and leakage, inability to work, etc.

Moisture-proof measures: dust removal, regular start-up and use of desiccant.

The main reason why household appliances are afraid of humidity is that humidity can lead to bacterial growth and leakage. So what exactly should we do? First of all, try to place large household appliances in a ventilated place. It is best to move the washing machine out of the bathroom and put it in an elevated position to help keep it dry. In addition, when the weather is wet, it is also correct to put household appliances in standby state, because when in standby, the working parts such as transformers inside the machine will emit some heat, which will help to dispel the moisture in the body. However, in order to save energy, the time for household appliances to stand by and prevent moisture should not be too long, preferably within one hour, and should avoid the peak period of electricity consumption.

Some household appliances, such as televisions and computers, have many small holes in their shells. After a long time, dust particles will enter the inside of the appliance through these small holes. When the weather is wet, the condensed water will condense dust, leading to problems such as disconnection and leakage of household appliances. In this regard, users can use the hair dryer to blow the small holes on the housing of household appliances up and down, left and right to disperse the dust and moisture inside the appliances.

The key point of moistureproof of digital shooting equipment is to prevent the lens from getting moldy and the electronic parts from getting damp. Therefore, cameras, video cameras, lenses and other equipment that are easy to be damp and moldy should be taken out of the leather bag and lens barrel first. The equipment to be taken out should be wiped clean with a soft cloth. After blowing the dust clean, gently wipe the lens with suede or lens paper to prevent mold from sticking on it. And then stored in a sealed drying box to spend the rainy season. Moisture-proof masks, desiccants and other moisture-proof products on the market are also good choices, and you can choose them when you need them.

Professionals also reminded that for electrical appliances that have been used for a certain number of years, professional maintenance personnel must come to the door to repair problems, clean up the internal dust, and do not do it yourself to prevent leakage.

Food moistureproof

Humidity index: ★★★★

Symptoms of dampness: softening, mildewing and deterioration.

Moisture-proof measures: dry, low temperature and ventilation.

The humidity is very high in rainy season, and food mildew prevention is the key. Sausage, ham, mushrooms, fungus and other foods are easily moldy and annoying.

Drying, low temperature and ventilation are the three magic weapons to deal with food mildew. The "traditional method" of absorbing water with dry lime is the most economical and practical method to prevent mushrooms, fungus, peanuts, red dates and other foods from becoming moldy. There are many "small bags" of desiccants, antioxidants and fungicides in molded packaged foods, which can also be used in Huangmei field. It is particularly important to note that rice, flour and other foods should never be bought too much at a time, and must be stored in a ventilated place.

Sausage, ham, and meat pickled foods are prone to mildew when the weather is hot and humid, producing carcinogenic aflatoxin. You can dip a cotton swab in a little vegetable oil, spread it evenly on the surface, and then hang it in a well-ventilated place to prevent mildew. Mushrooms should be kept in sealed containers to avoid sun exposure. If the mushrooms are slightly moldy, brush off the moldy flowers and bake them without washing. Adding a little kelp to rice can kill pests, inhibit mold and make rice not moldy.

Drug moistureproof

Humidity index: ★★★★

Dampness symptoms: discoloration, caking and mildew.

Moisture-proof measures: sealing, low temperature

If you have the habit of storing small medicine boxes at home, you need to pay attention to whether the medicines stored at home will deteriorate due to moisture in the rainy season. You can also start to do your own moistureproof work for drugs.

Generally speaking, among western medicines kept at home, sugar-coated tablets, granules (granules), capsules, effervescent tablets, etc. are easy to deteriorate due to moisture. The sugar-coated tablets appear mottled and discolored after being wetted; Particles in granules and capsules are easy to agglomerate and stick into strips when wet; Effervescent tablets are originally a dosage form that disintegrates and dissolves quickly when it meets water. Dissolving AIDS are added in the production of effervescent tablets, which makes it easier to absorb moisture.

Now, in order to prevent drugs from getting wet, some pharmaceutical companies will put a layer of aluminum-plastic bag on the outside of the capsule when packaging, which has a good moisture-proof effect. Of course, there is no need to be so particular about storing medicine at home. Fresh-keeping bags can be used as aluminum-plastic bags to prevent moisture, and some medicines can also be stored in glass bottles or sealed plastic boxes. If the environment is too humid or the medicine is easy to absorb moisture, it can be stored with desiccant.

The moistureproof of Chinese herbal medicines is complicated. If the ambient temperature and humidity are high, Chinese herbal medicines are easy to deteriorate. There are many ways to protect Chinese herbal medicines from moisture. For example, there are a large number of Chinese herbal medicines that can be kept in sealed boxes. If the amount is small and the medicinal materials are general, they can be stored in the refrigerator; However, if it is more expensive medicinal materials, such as Cordyceps, velvet antler and so on. , can be packed in a sealed bag, or wrapped in moisture-proof paper and placed at the bottom of the rice jar (the method is simple but practical). Under normal circumstances, medicinal materials can do a good job of moisture-proof, and basically will not be moldy. However, in the rainy season, the movement times of medicinal materials should be reduced, and the medicinal materials should be sealed immediately after being taken out to minimize the air flow around the medicinal materials.

Moisture-proof paper collection

Humidity index: ★★★★

Damp symptoms: yellow pages, mildew, moths.

Moisture-proof measures: drying in the sun and storing at low temperature.

Many families have the habit of collecting books, and many citizens collect paper products such as stamps, coins, calligraphy and painting, newspapers and various tickets. In the rainy season, this kind of paper collection is also prone to mildew. If it is a stamp, choose an afternoon when the sun is shining, erect the stamp album in the shade of the recent photo, open the pages to dry, but don't let the sun shine directly to prevent the paper from becoming dry and brittle. Wrap the stamps with two layers of fresh-keeping paper and put them in the refrigerator or camphor wood cabinet with desiccant. If stamps and tickets are moldy, they can be soaked in hydrogen peroxide or fresh milk and lightly brushed to remove the moldy spots on the surface. Wash with clear water, and then dry. Don't expose yourself to the sun.

For books, moth prevention and moisture prevention need to be carried out at the same time. Ordinary families can use special glass cabinets to store them, and try to open the door as little as possible; The camphor wood cabinet has natural insect-proof function and is suitable for storing books. In addition, it is necessary to put some desiccant and special insect repellent in the book storage place; There is a lot of rain in the rainy season, so you might as well wet the room regularly. Finally, remind collectors not to use plastic paper or plastic boxes to keep books. Plastic itself has a corrosive effect. Long-term contact with books will make the paper soft and crack, and the collection value will be greatly reduced.

Moisture-proof articles for human body

Keep your body dry.

In the comfortable rainy season, respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, skin diseases, gynecological diseases and other threats to public health caused by humid and sultry weather are gradually increasing. People's body and mind also need moisture protection. To this end, professional doctors remind the public that seasonal diseases should be prevented in advance when entering the rainy season.

Close the entrance and breathe.

Because the rainy season is hot and humid, it is conducive to the reproduction and growth of mold and bacteria, and food is prone to mildew and deterioration. People who eat deteriorated food will cause diarrhea, vomiting and even food poisoning. Therefore, first of all, we must do a good job of "getting sick from the mouth". Pay attention to the separation of raw and cooked food in rainy season to avoid cross infection. Overnight meals should be heated back to the pot. The food in the refrigerator should not be stored for too long. Don't eat at the stall casually. If you have acute gastrointestinal diseases, you should go to the hospital in time. If you feel upset in your stomach or the food is not fresh after eating, you can drink some vegetable soup or boiled water properly, or take a small amount of antibiotics, such as berberine tablets, to play a preventive role.

The rainy season is also the season when children often get sick. Children's diseases are mainly respiratory infections, including colds, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and so on. Some children with weak resistance will even have recurrent attacks and it is not easy to recover. The doctor said that there are a lot of preserved fruits and cold drinks on the market during the rainy season. If children eat without restraint, coupled with excessive use of air conditioning, it is easy to cause diseases. Doctors remind parents that bacteria are easy to breed in rainy season, so parents should pay attention to their children's food hygiene and avoid eating raw seafood. Fruits should be washed and disinfected, and seasonal fresh fruits such as bayberry and peach should be eaten in moderation. Don't overeat and try to eat less or no frozen items. At the same time, parents should reasonably urge their children to strengthen physical exercise and enhance their physique.

For elderly patients suffering from diseases such as hypertension, doctors also reminded that great changes in air pressure and temperature in rainy season can easily lead to autonomic nerve dysfunction, vasoconstriction, blocked blood flow, increased myocardial oxygen consumption and increased cardiac load, which can easily induce myocardial infarction and stroke. At the same time, rainy days are also the season with frequent skin diseases, and the warm and humid environment is suitable for the growth and reproduction of fungi. Therefore, doctors suggest that special attention should be paid to personal hygiene in rainy days, the surrounding environment is ventilated and dry, and the body is partially dry.

Relax and stay away from depression

Hot and cold, dry and wet weather can easily cause people's psychological and emotional fluctuations. Moreover, hot and humid weather is also easy to induce mental illness, manifested as poor sleep, poor self-control, easy to lose temper, and increased inertia. Women, idlers and people who work indoors all the year round are more likely to suffer from depression in the rainy season.

Professionals suggest that in rainy days or when there is no sunshine in the morning and evening, try to make the indoor light sufficient. People can mobilize their emotions, enhance their excitement and reduce or eliminate their depression by doing activities under the condition of sufficient light. Secondly, in humid weather, people should appropriately increase the intake of sugar to improve blood sugar level, increase vitality and relieve depression, except for diabetics. In addition, take vitamin B complex and oryzanol properly to regulate mental mood.

Citizens can also stay in an environment with good ventilation facilities. It is best to wear loose, breathable and light clothes, drink more water or natural fruit juice, drink less coffee, cola and alcoholic beverages, and appropriately reduce the amount of exercise. Pay attention to adjust mood and keep happy.
