Protecting Your Home From Damp And Mold

It is widely known that there are many health benefits of running a dehumidifier. It can reduce allergies by getting rid of mold, dust and mildew, thus reducing the risk of itchy eyes, rashes, sneezing and breathing difficulties.

However, did you know that dehumidifiers also have great benefits for your home or office and furniture?
A less humid environment means that there is less chance of mold developing, not only on your walls but on clothing, furniture, bed sheets, and everything else in the house. This in turn will reduce that lingering ‘musty’ smell developing when there is mold and mildew around.

Clothes will dry faster in a less humid environment and again, won’t smell like mildew. Electronics and tools won’t become rusty, food will remain fresher for longer, and perhaps best of all… less mold, mildew and dust means less cleaning!

When choosing which model is right for you, consider the following things:

• Consider the size and function of your space – is it domestic or commercial?
• Think about the level of humidity in the room – your bathroom or kitchen area will be far more humid than most other rooms.
• Do you want a free-standing dehumidifier that you can move around into different rooms? If you do then a lighter desiccant dehumidifier would be a good idea.
• Do you want a dehumidifier that can clean the air as well, like the sterlising ioniser on the Meaco DD8L Zambezi?

Meaco offer a wide range of dehumidifiers, for both domestic and commercial use. We also support the conservation work of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation with every Meaco DD8L Zambezi sold.
