Some rooms from your house can develop a higher level of humidity than others, like the bathroom or the kitchen. You must have the right information in order to know exactly how to keep the humidity in the kitchen under control.
Use a dehumidifier
Using a dehumidifier in the kitchen can have many benefits. Due to the fact that water is is often running at the kitchen sink, water vapors are constantly forming in this room, not to mention the steam that is created when cooking. As such, the kitchen is prone to develop mold and mildew, especially under the sink and around the stove. A kitchen with a high humidity level will have an unpleasant musty smell. In order to prevent mold from taking over your kitchen, you can use a portable dehumidifier. For the kitchen, we recommend an Eco- friendly dehumidifier, one made with non-toxic components. Generally, dehumidifiers work best if you keep the doors and the windows closed. In order to ensure a proper circulation, dehumidifiers need to be placed away from walls or furniture, except for models that have an air vent on top.
Dehumidifying house plants
You probably have heard about certain types of houseplants that are known to absorb moisture from the air. They exist and they are: the English Ivy, the Peace Lily, the Reed Palm and the Boston ferns, and they actually get all their water from the air instead through roots. People often buy them as indoor decoration plants that filter the moist out of the air in you home. Don’t expect them to be as effective as a dehumidifier, but why not try to get one or two and place them in your kitchen.
Keep the cooker hood on, every time you cook
You must always keep the cooker hood on, while you cook, in order to extract all the steam and lead it outside. A cooker hood also removes airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, odors and heat from the air. Doing so, you won’t have to worry about condense or nasty food odors anymore. Some hoods operate as either a re-circulation or an extraction hoods. Before you actually get one, you just need to decide which method meets your needs. After you choose the model you want, you may need to get additional parts like charcoal filters or an extraction kit.
