As the rainy season approaches, the frequency of dehumidifier use will significantly increase. At this juncture, we remind consumers that regular cleaning of dehumidifiers is crucial. Long-term neglect of cleaning can lead to bacteria growth and pose a threat to human health.

Importance of Dehumidifier Cleaning and Potential Impacts of Neglect:

  1. Exacerbating Indoor Air Pollution: During operation, dehumidifiers use internal electrostatic dust collection to attract dust from the environment. If not cleaned regularly, this dust may carry mineral fibers and become carriers of bacteria, viruses, and mold, thereby exacerbating indoor air pollution. Furthermore, this can affect the heat dissipation of the evaporative condenser, increase power consumption and failure rates, and shorten the lifespan of the dehumidifier.

  2. Interfering with Human Sensation: Changes in airflow and heat in dehumidifier rooms may interfere with human sensation, weakening the sensitive response to pathogens, allergens, and odors in the air.

  3. Facilitating Pathogen Survival: Rooms where dehumidifiers are used are typically dry and have suitable temperatures, creating an environment conducive to the survival and spread of pathogens and viruses.

  4. Affecting Mucosal Health: Dehumidifiers may cause indoor humidity to drop too low, adversely affecting the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and other parts of the human body, and even leading to mucosal diseases.

  5. Becoming a Breeding Ground for Pathogens: The air intake and outlet as well as the heat exchanger of household dehumidifiers are places where viruses and bacteria are prone to surviving and reproducing. If not cleaned regularly, these dust and pathogens may be blown out, causing infections.

Dehumidifier Cleaning Method:

1. To ensure the normal operation and extend the lifespan of dehumidifiers, it is recommended to clean the filter every half month. The cleaning steps are as follows:

2. Lift the handle and pull it forward to remove the filter.

3. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up dirt on the filter.

4. For dirtier filters, soak them in a cleaning solution first, then gently brush them with a soft brush to avoid damaging the filter.

5. After cleaning, let the filter air dry or blow it dry with a hairdryer, and then reinstall it.

Through the above content, we have emphasized once again the importance of regular cleaning of dehumidifiers. In order to create a comfortable and healthy living environment, simple cleaning operations cannot be ignored. At the same time, regular cleaning can also ensure the normal use of dehumidifiers, reduce energy consumption, and extend their lifespan.
