Dampness in an apartment is a real problem that is typical for poorly ventilated rooms.

Due to severe dampness, an even more serious problem appears – mold, which gradually fills the grooves and surfaces.

The humidity in the room should not exceed 60%, and if this figure is higher, then this problem needs to be addressed.

Dampness can cause respiratory problems caused by fungal spores.

Here are some ways.

  1. Salt. It has adsorbent properties, perfectly absorbing liquid and unpleasant odors. It can be poured into bowls and placed in different places of the room.
  2. Activated carbon. 100 grams of salt and 20 tablets of activated carbon. Grind the carbon and mix with salt.
  3. Silica gel. We pour this material into bags with breathable fabric.
  4. Essential oils. The substance has an antifungal and disinfectant effect. Try tea tree and grapefruit oil.
