Improve your
family's health with a dehumidifier
Keeping
your family happy and healthy in winter is a difficult task,
especially if they suffer from any allergies, but there is an easy
way to really improve everyone's health by using a simple
dehumidifier in your home. Not something that might be first on your
shopping list, but just have a look at all the health benefits that
using one in your home can bring:
Allergies and Asthma
An
asthma attack can be triggered by allergic reactions and an easy way
to air out any damp or humid areas of your home is by using a
dehumidifier which will do all the work for you; keeping your home
humidity between 25% and 50% and helping to prevent those unwanted
asthma attacks.
Mould
Invisible to the eye, mould
spores float through the air, and exposure increases in winter as
spores grow on evergreens and leaves that lie around in the garden.
The spores get carried into the house on your clothes and shoes, so
using a dehumidifier will filter them out of the air, keeping
everyone more healthy.
Respiratory Illness
A recent US
study found that respiratory illnesses increased in people of all age
groups during the winter months, as coughs and colds spread more
easily in damp air. Having a dehumidifier is great way to keep the
air dry and clean so germs and bacteria can't spread through damp
droplets in the air. This will really make a difference to keeping
your family more healthy.
Pets
Pet allergies can get
worse during the winter as cats and dogs spend a lot more time in the
house rather than outside. A dehumidifier will filter out the air in
your home and can make a big difference to keeping your air allergen
free.
House dust mites
These are an allergy
irritant all year and especially when the air is damp and the family
spends more time in the house, so winter is a crucial time to think
about these microscopic baddies. A dehumidifier will take damp vapour
out of the air condensing it into water that you empty periodically,
so they won't get a chance to breed and spread.
Eczema
Eczema
can flare up when the temperature or humidity changes. Being warm
indoors with central heating can dry out the skin and make eczema
worse so using a dehumidifier can really help.
So, when the
weather gets freezing cold and you have the heating on full blast
with all the windows and doors closed; just make sure you switch on
the
dehumidifier…
