Dehumidifiers create a healthy indoor climate"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"Whether at home or at work: regular ventilation and appropriate heating help to improve the indoor air, prevent the risk of mould growth and create an overall healthier indoor climate. But what can be done if the air humidity remains too high despite regular ventilation? Experts recommend mobile dehumidifiers<\/a>, that provide optimally humidified room air fully automatically and even clean it.<\/h2>\n

Excessive air humidity has many causes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A variety of activities lead to a continuous increase in air humidity throughout the day. Even simple breathing increases the humidity in the air, because breathing air contains water vapour. The more people there are in a room or building, the greater the influence of breathing air on humidity. Added to this is sweating in summer or under the cosy duvet. Cooking, washing, drying clothes, showering or bathing produce additional water vapour. The room air can only absorb these amounts of moisture to a limited extent. This is why moisture condenses on windows, mirrors and cold spots in the room. Moisture accumulates, which form an ideal breeding ground for mould and can lead to health problems.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is therefore essential to take appropriate measures to reduce humidity in the house or flat. This blog will tell you how best to do so.<\/p>\n

Ventilating correctly \u2013 this is how it works<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To prevent high humidity from becoming a problem, the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) recommends<\/a> ventilating several times a day with the windows wide open. This exchanges the excessively humid indoor air for fresh air from outside.<\/p>\n

How often and for how long should ventilation be carried out?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a general rule<\/strong>: the cooler the room temperature, the more often it must be aired out to prevent mould from forming due to moisture. The following recommendations apply to the duration of the ventilation process:<\/p>\n
