The damage of humidity to the quality of home life
Most people experience the troubles caused by various molds every year: clothes often have an unpleasant smell, and people are afraid to look askance when entering and leaving public places; Smelling the musty smell of others always makes people afraid to hide; Take good care of a white dress and sheets, and black, yellow and brown spots will appear overnight, which can't be washed out any more; Beloved purses, furs and leather shoes have to be reluctantly discarded because they have grown hair, changed color and changed shape; Children and their bodies often itch, feel uncomfortable and damage the skin; Your own or someone else's feet smell disgusting; Both sides of the camera lens are moldy, so it can't be removed and can't be used any more. Precious books have turned yellow, and some photos have spots; Valuable collections such as calligraphy and painting, stamps, coins and thread-bound books were also damaged by mildew; The stored mushrooms, Cordyceps sinensis, scallops, red dates, auricularia auricula, ginseng and precious medicinal materials also grew hairy and deteriorated, making them inedible. ...
Many people don't know that mildew is caused by high air humidity. Scientific research shows that when the temperature of the home environment is between 25℃ and 30℃ and the relative humidity exceeds 60%RH, there is enough oxygen in the air, and then the mold will be extremely active and multiply rapidly. Therefore, in the rainy season every year, the troubles caused by mold will widely erode people's lives. In tropical, subtropical and temperate regions, especially in coastal areas, the problem of mold caused by humidity has plagued people's lives all the year round. According to statistics, the annual economic losses caused by humidity and mildew in the world are as high as hundreds of billions of dollars (only referring to families).
There are many kinds of molds, including ascomycetes, algae and imperfect fungi. The spread of mold mainly depends on spores, which are tiny powders that are difficult to observe with the naked eye. Because of its small size and light weight, it can float around with the movement of airflow, dust, human body and objects. In the process of flowing, it will grow and reproduce as soon as it meets the environment (temperature and humidity) suitable for development. Therefore, the mildew, odor and deformation of the goods appeared. Mild mildew of articles will cause damage to articles and unpleasant feelings, while severe mildew will affect family health (leading to skin diseases and food poisoning), especially for infants and the elderly with weak resistance.
What is the magical method of moisture-proof and dehumidification?
There are many methods of moisture-proof and dehumidification, which can effectively improve the overall humid environment of the home.
Coup 1: prevention first.
Prevention is the best moisture-proof and dehumidification method. Generally speaking, quilts, pillows, fabric sofa cover and other home accessories should be placed in the sun for several hours after being used continuously for about one month. Because sunshine is the most environmentally friendly and environmentally friendly.
Effective fungicides can not only make the quilt fluffy and soft, but also make the quilt full of sunshine and warm fragrance after drying, which will definitely bring you a good night's sleep.
Tip 2: Close the window in the morning and evening.
When the humidity returns to the south, everyone must remember to close the windows at home, especially those facing south and southeast, so as not to give any chance for the moisture eyeing outside the window to sneak in. The most important moistureproof period every day is morning and evening.
The air humidity in these two periods is higher than that at noon. If the doors and windows are not closed in time, water vapor will seriously penetrate into every corner of the house. In addition, if you think that the indoor air cannot circulate because the doors and windows are closed, I suggest you open the window for a short time at noon.
Coup 3: Instrument Method
Moisture-proof and dehumidification can also use scientific and technological means to mobilize all electrical appliances with dehumidification function in the home to reduce indoor air humidity. Nowadays, the air conditioners used in general families have the function of dehumidification. But it takes two or three hours to adjust the indoor air humidity with air conditioner, and it will make people feel very cold indoors. If you are not satisfied with the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner, you might as well go to the mall to buy a special dehumidifier, which is faster, but consumes more electricity. In addition, the heater used for heating in winter can also alleviate the indoor humidity to a certain extent, but the effective radiation range of the heater is small, which can not achieve immediate dehumidification effect.
Tip 4: Hang desiccant.
Now there are many desiccants specially used for moisture-proof and dehumidification in the supermarket. The most common types are moisture absorption boxes and bags. Many water-absorbing boxes have various scents, such as lemon, lavender, sweet orange, etc., which can make the house full of scents and are suitable for being placed in living rooms, rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and other large spaces in daily life. After using it for a period of time, you can take out the substances in the moisture absorption box and buy bulk desiccant and put it in the box for reuse.
In addition, the dehumidifying bag made of water-absorbent resin and charcoal is more suitable to be placed in narrow spaces, such as closets such as wardrobes and shoe cabinets, and a bag of dehumidifying bag can be hung to discharge moisture. In addition, it is quite interesting to make desiccant by hand. Fill a small cloth bag with a proper amount of lime, tie it into a small bag and put it in every corner of the room. Lime itself has the function of absorbing water, and can also slow down the indoor humidity.
Coup 5: Moisture-proof cabinet furniture
Recently, moisture-proof cabinet furniture has appeared on the market. Moisture-proof shoe cabinet can store leather shoes, sports shoes, casual shoes, insoles and so on. The moisture-proof wardrobe can store leather goods, fur coats, quilts, baby products, etc. The moisture-proof food cabinet can store high-grade medicinal materials (such as Cordyceps sinensis) and dry goods, and the moisture-proof universal cabinet can store optical equipment (such as cameras, camcorders and lenses), digital products (such as memory and CDs) and precious calligraphy and paintings, stamps and photo albums. The humidity control is set to 25-60%RH, and the cabinet realizes constant humidity, automatic dehumidification, safety and environmental protection, and no noise. Not only dehumidification, but also the shoe cabinet can achieve sterilization, disinfection, deodorization and other functions. This product adopts condensation moisture-proof and dehumidification technology. The principle of this technology is to discharge the water vapor absorption and condensation integrated liquid in the cabinet through the semiconductor condensation device and naturally evaporate it into the air outside the cabinet.
Small coup of family moistureproof
1. Buy 10-20kg of lime, put it in wooden cases or cartons, and put it under the wardrobe or in the corner of the house. Cover it when the weather is not wet. Open the lid when it is wet, and don't open the big window. Lime absorbs moisture and is dry and pleasant indoors.
2. Stir-fry the sugar in the pan. Then put it in a paper bag and put it in a damp place to absorb water. Or, as above, buy lime to absorb moisture.
3. Always open the window to ventilate the room. Underwear and trousers should always be dried in the sun, which can sterilize and protect health.
The wardrobe sold in the market has been equipped with ultraviolet disinfection lamp, so you might as well buy an ultraviolet disinfection lamp and disinfect it regularly.
5. Use moisture-proof cabinet, remember: don't put food with moisture in it. Because the moisture-proof cabinet is different from the refrigerator, it dehumidifies at room temperature and keeps fresh by cooling (the refrigerator keeps fresh by cooling), but the moisture-proof cabinet can't keep fresh.
Three tricks of moisture-proof wood floor
1. Take precautions before installation.
As we all know, when decorating, the decoration team will suggest that before we lay the wooden floor, we should first lay asphalt and linoleum paper on the bottom of the wooden floor, and then seal the surface with a layer of cement to prevent the release of harmful gases.

After spraying insect-proof powder on the dry ground, spread a thick layer of moisture-proof film, because the thickness of moisture-proof film is generally about 5- 10 mm, which can effectively prevent the infiltration of underground water and give consideration to the position of the foot of the wall. Don't let local factors affect the finishing. If you want to be more moisture-proof, add a layer of activated carbon on it. Don't underestimate it. It can absorb moisture and insects, not only effectively prevent the floor from deforming, but also absorb indoor smoke and carbon dioxide to improve indoor air quality.
2, wooden floor surface kung fu "to do well.

Waxing can not only make up for the scars left on the wooden floor in our daily life, but also improve the brightness of the floor. At the same time, the wax itself has the function of waterproof and moistureproof. The number of waxing depends on the new and old floors. The new wooden floor is waxed once every half a month or once a month. After continuous waxing for 3-4 times, it can be waxed once every six months like an old floor, which can effectively prevent moisture. If you want to be more moisture-proof, you can stick a moisture-proof film on our wooden floor.

Dehumidifier is the natural enemy of humid weather, and its appearance brings hope to our family and a sunny world. Unfortunately, the price is relatively high, and there must be a place to put it. However, the dehumidification function of the air conditioner is turned on, and the moisture-proof effect is still good. If you are a small apartment, we will use the second magic weapon, activated carbon bag, which has strong water absorption effect and can remove odor.
The wooden floor is moldy. You can dilute it with a soft bleaching agent at the ratio of 1: 3, and then clean it with a rag, and the wooden floor will return to its original state!

How to protect the baby's body from "tide"
Rainy weather, humid air, children are prone to fatigue, and many respiratory diseases are more likely to occur. If you suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort or skin diseases, your child's illness can easily get worse in this weather. In fact, this is the "wet" in spring, so the "dehumidification" movement cannot be neglected. We can eliminate and prevent it from the aspect of diet conditioning.
1, wet "is divided into internal and external, cold and hot.
The so-called wet, that is, the so-called water wet, there are external wet and internal wet points. External dampness is caused by the invasion of external water into the human body due to humid climate, wading in the rain or wet home; Internal dampness is a pathological product, which is often related to digestive function. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen has the function of transporting water and dampness. If you are weak, indigestion or overeating, and eat too much greasy food and sweets, the spleen will not be able to transport water and dampness normally. Moreover, people with spleen deficiency are also easy to attract the invasion of external dampness, which often hinders the spleen and stomach from endogenous dampness, so the two are independent and related.
2. Children are easy to get wet.
Continuous rainy days are the most rampant period of microbial reproduction such as mold and mites, and some people with qi deficiency and phlegm are more likely to cause asthma. The increase of moisture in spring is the season when children get sick. Most diseases of children are mainly respiratory infections, including colds, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. In addition, children's excessive consumption of fruits, moldy food or careless nutrition collocation are the main reasons for children's dampness.
3. Guide to eliminating dampness
There is a good way to deal with dampness, which can be started from the following aspects-frequent ventilation and more dampness. Get rid of external humidity, don't stay in a wet place for a long time, and try not to work in a wet place outside. Don't open the window often in wet and rainy days, but you'd better keep it ventilated. Pay attention to indoor ventilation and dehumidification. Even if the clothes are difficult to dry, don't force yourself to wear dry clothes. Keep warm and don't catch a cold.
4. Exercise more and get rid of dampness. Promote the movement of water in the body through exercise, and achieve the effect of dehumidification. Because children like to jump around, there are many opportunities to sweat, which has a great effect on eliminating dampness.
5. Eat less cold sweets. The prevention of moisture should start with the change of living habits. In diet, children should eat less cold food and sweets, drink less, eat less greasy food, eat more warm food, and reduce the source of moisture. Adults can put some ginger slices when cooking. Ginger is a warm food, which has the effect of dispelling cold and resolving phlegm. You can also eat some bergamot, papaya, wax gourd, bitter gourd and adzuki bean properly, which is very helpful for moisture prevention.
6. Eat less wet seafood such as shrimps and crabs. Dampness of the spleen and stomach can easily cause allergies and affect the digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach. At this time, you should eat less wet seafood such as shrimp and crab. Moreover, these high-protein foods are difficult to digest, and eating too much will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach.
7. Pay attention to food hygiene. Finally, humid and sultry weather is easy to breed bacteria. Children should pay attention to food hygiene and don't eat moldy food. Fruit should be washed and disinfected before eating. Myrica rubra, peaches and other seasonal fresh fruits should be eaten in moderation. Don't overeat or eat too cold food. Eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach, and eliminate dampness, and warm them properly to let moisture flow out with defecation.
