A moldy story'Your Allergy Nurse' shares her own moldy storyDehumidifier provides comfort, combats moldApril 24, 2002 I plan to share more soon about my own mold problem. But I want to tell you now about one of the first steps I've taken to combat it. I purchased a good dehumidifier. When it came in the other day, the temperature was over 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity level inside was close to 70%. I had not yet replaced my air-conditioning unit which went out last fall. I'd been out of town and the house was closed up. When I entered, it was so hot and humid inside I could barely breathe. Fans helped only a little. I quickly unpacked the dehumidifier and hooked it up, and in about half an hour the humidity level was near 50% inside. I'd had a headache all day. Suddenly it went away. The temperature remained the same, but it felt much more comfortable, easier to breathe. Fans created a cool breeze. Even if I didn't have a mold problem, the dehumidifier is well worth the comfort it provides. If you live in a humid climate, a dehumidifier may make a big difference for you too. My unit is a Whirlpool 40 pint dehumidifier, and I am so pleased with it. You can see it here. |
