Dehumidify the air

If the cellar is too damp, there is a risk that all the furniture and goods stored in it may be damaged or become completely unusable. A first indication of excessive humidity can be a musty, unpleasant odour. Mould can quickly form and spread. However, it is not only the goods that are at risk; if you stay in a mould-infested cellar for a longer period of time or use items stored there later in your home, this can lead to health problems. This risk also exists in storage rooms, garden sheds, hobby rooms, etc.

The more humid the air, the slower the laundry dries. In addition, the drying room is occupied for longer and it can take longer before the next load of laundry can be hung up.

New buildings are often occupied immediately after completion. Too little time is allowed for drying the building, especially the walls. As a result, the humidity is often too high in all rooms for the first few years. The occupants, furniture, instruments, paintings and textiles are permanently exposed to excessively humid air and can be damaged.

We often don't realise that it has been too damp in the flat or house for a long time. As with new buildings, furniture, textiles and wooden musical instruments absorb this moisture and can be damaged. Mould can form, posing a health risk to the people and animals living in the home.
