For friends living on the first floor, a major concern in spring is the excessive dampness. There is a lot of rain in spring, especially the plum rain in southern regions, which further aggravates the dampness. As is well known, dampness is very harmful to the human body. Excessive dampness in the body can affect the body's metabolism. Because dampness is heavy and turbid, it can easily block the Yang qi. And dampness most easily affects the spleen and stomach, causing the spleen to fail to function properly, resulting in a heavy head and a sluggish body. If you have symptoms such as loss of appetite, how can friends living on the first floor dehumidify?

1. Open Windows frequently for ventilation

When the indoor humidity is high, it is essential to keep the Windows open frequently to ensure good ventilation. At this time, the most commonly used method is to close the doors and Windows facing south or southeast, that is, the upwind direction, and only open the doors and Windows facing downwind to reduce the entry of moisture into the room. When the weather clears up, all the doors and Windows can be opened to accelerate the evaporation of water. However, the humidity of the air outside is at a higher level at noon, so it is not advisable to open the window. It is better to open the window for adjustment in the afternoon or evening when the climate is relatively dry.

Ii. Air conditioning dehumidification method

Nowadays, air conditioners also have dehumidification functions. We can use air conditioners to remove the moisture in the room, provided that we can withstand the huge power consumption. Although this method is good, it is still better to save energy and use it less.

Iii. Dehumidifying machines

When choosing a dehumidifier, it is important to select one that suits the size of your space. If the area is too large, the working efficiency of the dehumidifier will decrease. It is still good to use it in the room. Currently, there are many such products on the market. When purchasing a dehumidifier, be sure to carefully check the product and choose the one that can be installed on-site. At the same time, also pay attention to the price.

V. Moisture-proofing Methods for Electrical Appliances

The color TV can always be in standby mode. You can also frequently use a hair dryer to blow out the dust and moisture inside the machine through the small holes at the back, up, down, left and right. It is better not to place the washing machine in areas with high water vapor density such as the bathroom. The position of the washing machine should also be raised. Although air conditioners have a dehumidification function, they should also be turned on from time to time during humid days to keep them in good condition. Computers, in particular, need to be well moisture-proof. A better approach is to keep them on frequently, preferably for about an hour each day to maintain dryness. For computers that are not used frequently, the case should also be opened and a few desiccants from food bags should be pasted on the inner walls.
