Twip of the Day – Dehumidifier as a Purifier

Using a basement dehumidifier is a smart way to reduce moisture that can build up in areas of your home without proper ventilation. Did you know that basement dehumidifiers also remove odors in the air due to moisture and humidity levels in the basement? Odor isn’t the only target of a dehumidifier though, it also purifies the surrounding air. Poor air quality in basements comes from dust which can carry dust mites. Dehumidifiers pull air into themselves through a filter, thus eliminating dust content in the air. Dehumidifiers are versatile tools that serve many purposes in your basement, not just removing moisture from the air.

Basement dehumidifiers are an effective means of reducing moisture that can build up in the areas of the home with little air ventilation. A dehumidifier, by removing this  moisture, can help mitigate the odors that the moisture brings into your basement. A dehumidifier also sucks the air from the the basement in through a filter, not only pulling moisture out of the air, but purifying it as well. So we’ve learned that a basement dehumidifier not only removes moisture from the air, but also dissipates odor, and functions as an air purifier, removing dust from the air.
