Advice on dehumidifiers

Need to get rid of excessive humidity, or simply want to dry your laundry faster? A dehumidifier could be the right option for you.

What is dehumification?

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!

Signs and effects of excessive humidity

High humidity in your home isn’t just uncomfortable, it can affect your health. Common signs include foggy windows, musty odors, mould, and pests. Excess moisture can also trigger allergies, breathing difficulties, frequent colds, and skin irritations like eczema. Monitoring and managing humidity helps keep your home healthy and comfortable.

Excess moisture can worsen asthma by promoting mould, bacteria, and stuffy air, making breathing feel heavier and lungs more sensitive.

How to tell if humidity is too high

Relative humidity is easy to measure with a hygrometer, such as Sense. If the percentage on the hygrometer is between 40 and 60 percent, the humidity in the room is optimal. If the percentage is below 40 percent, the humidity is low, in this case the air is too dry. If the percentage is higher than 60 percent, on the other hand, the humidity is high, in this case the air is too humid. Both scenarios are accompanied by various symptoms that you can recognise. In practice, however, these symptoms are not always linked to the cause - read: high or low humidity.
