How does a portable dehumidifier work?
What Causes The Problem? All air contains moisture and this is only natural, however, there can be too much. Especially in winter when moisture has been added through our day-to-day activities, such as boiling a kettle, drying clothes, showering and even breathing. A typical family adds as much as 20 pints (11 Liters) of excess moisture to the air every day. In the days when houses were poorly insulated, the excess moisture easily escaped from the home. Today, the double-glazing and draught proofing that keep our homes much better insulated also traps in the excess moisture we generate. Labor saving appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines and tumble dryers also contribute to excess moisture in the home, which in turn leads to condensation and humidity problems. Do I Need A Portable Dehumidifier? Here is a brief overview: If your home feels very dry, you have no condensation in winter and you have good ventilation including an open coal fire, then the answer is probably no. If
