What to watch for proper operation of the dehumidifier

Dehumidifiers absorb high levels of air and thus create a sense of clean atmosphere, while at the same time preventing mold growth. Dehumidifiers are a popular device, especially during winter, helping us save energy and money, but their advantages extend throughout the year, since they are ideal for removing moisture during the summer months. For the optimal sense of comfort and to ensure a healthy environment throughout your home it is important to avoid certain errors that have a negative impact on the performance of the device. You don’t often clean the filter To keep the dehumidifier in good condition and extend its life span, you must check the filter at regular intervals and clean it following the instructions for using the device. In case of frequent operation of the dehumidifier, dust particles and bacteria are accumulated in the filter, which then spread into the space where you live and breathe. “The dust, but also pet hairs can cause obstruction inside the system” features cleaning expert, Sarah Dempsey, speaking on Express.co.uk For this reason, you must clean the filter every two weeks with a vacuum cleaner or using a damp cloth. Also make sure that the filter is naturally dried before putting it back on your device. At the same time, the expert recommends replacing the filter every few months to ensure the proper functioning of the dehumidifier. Place the dehumidifier in the wrong position For better results, you should place the dehumidifier in the right place in the bedroom or in the rest of your home space. According to Sarah Dempsey, the best place to place your device is close to where moisture appears to prevent mold growth and unpleasant odors. Avoid placing the dehumidifier inside the bathroom. Instead, you can put your device just outside the bathroom and leave the door open to combat moisture. At the same time, make sure there is enough air flow around the machine to work effectively. Place the machine very close to the walls For optimal operation of the device, place the dehumidifier at least 20 cm away from any wall of your home. Finally, Dempsey recommends not placing the dehumidifier near windows and doors.
