Dehumidifiers are great for keeping excess moisture out of the air, but they need a bit of care to stop them from getting yucky.
They can help clothes dry quicker and even stop mould from growing in your home. But, did you know that if you don’t clean your dehumidifier often, it can get really grim?
Michael Rubino, an expert on mould and air quality, warned that if you don’t clean your dehumidifier, it can turn into a “gigantic petri dish”, which isn’t good for the air we breathe.
Every day, you should make sure your dehumidifier is emptied of water, and every week, give it a wash with soap and water to keep bacteria away.
If you’ve left it a bit too long and need to give it a deep clean, there’s a way to do it.
