From every spring, the rain belt follows the subtropical high all the way northward. Every February and March, the Lingnan region experiences a unique phenomenon of the return of the south wind. Take this year as an example. The return of the south wind in Guangdong came around the Spring Festival. When you woke up, you would find that the world outside the window was shrouded in a vast sea of fog.

The air was damp and misty, as if shrouded in clouds. The clothes can't be dried in the sun, the quilts are all damp, water droplets are hanging all over the window panes, and water is dripping from the walls and even the floor. During seasons like dragon boat water and typhoon days, dampness is inevitable.

In June and July, the rain belt followed the subtropical high again to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. At this time, the plum rain season will occur in the Yangtze River Basin. Due to the humid environment during the rainy season, items are prone to mold. This poses a considerable threat of mold growth to ancient books, tea, and silk. Factories and workshops in southern regions also need to precisely control humidity and deal with dampness.

Nowadays, with global climate change, the subtropical high pressure is moving northward, and the rainfall in the north is increasing. Moisture-proofing and dehumidification no longer "target" the south.

On damp days, wise people would choose to spread lime, lay newspapers, and open Windows at different times, etc. However, the most reliable and worry-free option is still to use professional dehumidification equipment.

With the increase in extreme weather and the rainy season, which are unpredictable, the attention paid to environmental dehumidification appliances represented by dehumidifiers has risen rapidly. Dehumidifiers not only reduce air humidity, making the indoor environment dry and comfortable, but also have functions such as drying and purification. Moreover, they have the ability to kill bacteria and remove mites. Clothes dried by dehumidifiers are clean, fluffy, soft and comfortable to wear, enhancing consumers' sense of happiness at home.

Apart from humid weather, in some enclosed Spaces such as basements, storage rooms, and the first floor in the south, even in dry weather, dampness is prone to accumulate.

As an essential appliance in the humid summer, many people may also affect the performance of dehumidifiers due to some misunderstandings when using them. The following are common misunderstandings. I hope they can help everyone make better use of dehumidifiers and maintain a healthy humidity environment.

Several common misconceptions about using dehumidifiers

1. Dehumidify without closing the window. Since the air is circulating, when turning on the dehumidifier, make sure to close the doors and Windows.

2. Thinking it can only dehumidify. Many people who are not familiar with dehumidifiers think that they can only dehumidify. In fact, they also have functions such as drying clothes, purifying and sterilizing. They can be called multi-functional machines and are very practical modern household appliances.

3. Do not clean the machine. Dehumidifiers, like other electrical appliances, require proper maintenance, especially the dust-proof mesh, which needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent blockage, so that the machine can work more efficiently.
