What dehumidifier should I use?« Back to Previous Page

When dealing with persistent dampness and musty smells post-heavy rainfall, it is crucial to address the humidity levels effectively. The first step should always be a professional inspection by an environmental expert like those at Saniservice, who can provide insights on the exact conditions within your home.

In Dubai and the UAE in general, you'll face challenges due to high relative humidities during certain times of the year, especially after heavy rains or when there's no air conditioning use. Given your situation, a dehumidifier that can handle both large spaces and variable humidity levels would be ideal.

For areas like your bedroom closet where dampness has been noticed, I recommend considering units with high capacities, such as 60-70 liters per day. The Saniservice Dehumidifier Pro Series (SDP40) is a prime choice, featuring an impressive 65 liters/day capacity and equipped with advanced desiccant technology for efficient moisture absorption even in high humidity conditions.

It's essential to ensure proper placement of the dehumidifier. Avoid placing it too close to walls or furniture as this can hinder airflow and efficiency. Positioning near the source of dampness, like your closet corner, will help maximize its effectiveness.

Regular maintenance is key; check filters for cleanliness every month and clean the internal components when necessary. This ensures optimal performance and prevents mold growth within the unit itself.

Remember, dehumidifiers are a temporary solution while addressing root causes such as leaking pipes or insufficient ventilation. In your case, after installing the dehumidifier, it might be wise to call for professional inspection services from Saniservice to ensure there's no underlying issue causing the dampness and musty smell.

By taking these steps, you can significantly reduce moisture levels in your home, improving indoor air quality and creating a healthier living environment for your kids. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance or want more specific advice tailored to your unique situation.
