Mould, damp and dust mites can make your life very difficult and may even result in respiratory problems, allergies and asthmatic symptoms.
Mould is found in damp places and reproduces through tiny spores. If you are sensitive to mould you may suffer from the following symptoms:
- Sneezing / Wheezing
- Eye irritation
- Skin irritation
- Nasal problems
Dust mites are also found in damp places such as beds, curtains, rugs and carpets.
Though small, dust mites can easily trigger allergy and asthma symptoms.
The Solution
A dehumidifier brings down the level of humidity in your house and eradicates problems such as mould and dust mites.
In particular look for dehumidifiers with an anti-bacterial filter and ioniser.
An anti-bacterial filter pulls bacteria and fungi towards it and kills them upon contact. This results in cleaner air in the house which is beneficial to allergy and asthma sufferers.
The air around us contains positive and negative ions. In damp and moist conditions there are more positive ions which makes it harder for people to breathe as these positive ions attach themselves to water.
If you suffer from hay fever, bronchial asthma or other respiratory problems you want to limit the amount of positive ions in the air. This can be done with an ioniser.
