Read on below to find out more about how to DIY de-humify your home on a budget.
Baking soda can de-humidify high-moisture rooms
You can use baking soda to naturally dehumidify a room that has high-moisture levels. Simply fill a small bowl with baking soda and place it on the window sill.
Over time you will notice the baking soda will harden as it absorbs the moisture. When this happens you should replace it with fresh baking soda.
Take cooler and shorter showers to reduce humidity
One of the biggest causes of humidity in homes is taking a shower. To reduce the humidity from showering you should consider using cooler water that’s warm rather than boiling hot and taking shorter showers.
After showering you should always leave the bathroom door and windows open for half an hour to increase airflow.
Fill your home with humidity-absorbing houseplants
There are also some humidity-absorbing indoor houseplants you can get to naturally remove moisture from your home. These include peace lily, boston fern, and spider plants.
Not only will they reduce the humidity in your home they will look great too.
