Dehumidifying Tips from Flame Furnace Detroit!

There are few feelings worse than that gross stickiness on your skin when the humidity is up—worse if your home is in a state of perpetual clamminess! Having high amounts of water in the air is quite uncomfortable, but it can also make breathing a chore and also promote the spread of mold. Fortunately, there are some highly effective ways to dehumidify your living space.

Improve ventilation

Nothing banishes clamminess like ample ventilation. If the weather’s nice, crack open a window (or two, or all of them) and let a breeze in. A ceiling fan can also work wonders in a pinch. Just get the air in your house moving!

Place desiccants around the house

Lots of substances naturally absorb moisture, such as charcoal, silica gel, chalk, uncooked rice, and baking soda. The trick is choosing the right places where they won’t disrupt your home’s ambience while they absorb as much moisture as they can.

Plug in a dehumidifier

If the DIY methods don’t cut it, it becomes all the more important to go out of your way to purchase a dehumidifier. Aprilaire dehumidifiers can pull a whopping 70 pints of moisture each day! Flame Furnace Detroit has partnered with Aprilaire to make your home even more comfortable.
