What is dehumidification?
Dehumidification creates a fresh, comfortable space where you can breathe clean air. It removes excess moisture from the air, preventing mold, musty odors and damage to your belongings.
Proper humidity instantly makes your living space more pleasant. You feel more comfortable and have fewer worries about moisture problems. In short, good for your home as well as your comfort and well-being!
How do you know if the humidity is too high?
You easily measure humidity with a hygrometer, such as Sense. A healthy percentage is between 40 and 60 percent. Is it higher than 60 percent? Then the air is too humid, which can cause musty odors and mold and harm your health. That's why it's important to be aware of the humidity in your home!
What do you notice about high humidity?
Many people recognize foggy windows, musty odors, mold and pests as signs of too much moisture in the home.
But did you know that high humidity can also affect your health? It can lead to allergies, shortness of breath, (chronic) colds and skin irritations such as eczema. So keep an eye on your humidity for a healthy, comfortable environment at home!
Musty smell
When humidity is too high, bacteria and moulds can easily spread, which in most cases is accompanied by a musty smell.
Mould
Mould spreads most rapidly when humidity is high. As a result, in humid rooms you can suffer not only from mould on the wall, floor or ceiling, but also from the musty smell and unhealthy indoor climate caused by mould.
Pest
A damp room is the ideal habitat for pests such as dust mites, woodlice and silverfish. The best way to keep pests at bay is to lower the humidity level, which makes it difficult for them to survive.
Shortness of breath
Shortness of breath with high humidity can have several causes. It can be caused by bacteria and moulds, which pollute the air you breathe. Another cause is that sweat evaporates more easily when humidity is high, which can make the heat feel oppressive and stuffy.
Cold
High air humidity is the ideal habitat for germs, allowing them to multiply en masse. In many cases, this results in wheezing, frequent coughing and phlegm in the nasal passages and throat.
Skin irritations
Prolonged high humidity can impair the skin's protective function, causing skin irritations such as eczema.
Asthma symptoms
Aggravated asthma symptoms with high humidity can have several causes. For example, bacteria and moulds can be the cause, as they pollute the air you breathe and make the lungs more sensitive. Another cause is that sweat evaporates more easily when humidity is high, which can make the heat feel oppressive and stuffy.
