In full-fledged summer, the house was humid. It began to penetrate into our daily life. Especially during the rainy season, moisture and mold are prevalent, so special management is required.
Today, in preparation for the rainy season, I will introduce 5 ways to remove moisture from your home without a dehumidifier.
1. Coarse Salt
Put the coarse salt in a large bowl and place it in the sink. Salt absorbs moisture, effectively removing moisture. Also, coarse salt with a lot of moisture can be recycled. The way to do it is to dry it well in the sun.
2. Charcoal
Charcoal removes moisture and prevents mold growth. It also has a deodorizing effect. Charcoal acts as a dehumidifier and humidifier to control the humidity in the house. You can see the same effect as the first time if you wash it thoroughly with water and wash it 2-3 times a year.
The method is to wrap about 1kg of charcoal in paper and put it in the closet.
3. Scented Candles
Scented candles are effective not only for calming the mind and body, but also reducing the moisture in the air as the wax burns. Even the kitchen stuffiness and smell! Light a scented candle in the kitchen to capture the deodorizing effect and moisture.

4. Alcohol

The alcohol component removes moisture and even cleanly removes mold.
