Condensation and mould simply love bathrooms. Hot showers and baths readily cause the humidity in bathrooms to hit 100%. At 100%RH the walls, windows and mirrors will be coated in condensation, causing paint to peel as well as providing the perfect habitat for mould to grow. Tub to shower conversions is a good possibility to […]

Few things can be as upsetting as a flooded or partially flooded home. Maybe it’s a burst pipe of worst of all a rising water table that fills your ground floor. I am no flood expert, but I do know a thing or two about dehumidifiers, so this is how I would go about searching […]

Thanks to the wider use of double glazing and better designed ventilation, condensation doesn’t form in caravans in quite the same quantities as it once did. Having said this, they still suffer far greater from condensation than most houses. Condensation can get particularly troublesome in caravans during the winter and on rainy summer days, when […]

Garages, sheds, workshops, summerhouses, garden rooms — they offer valuable additional living space but typically aren’t anywhere near as heavily insulated as our homes. This gives rise to potentially damaging and unsightly condensation, not to mention a damp and dirty atmosphere which can not just make the garage door look bad but also the inner […]

To our shame in the dehumidifier reviews that we write we almost invariably talk about pouring the water collected down the drain. With the need to conserve our planet’s resources and fresh water arguably being the most important resource of all, we take a look at how we can and cannot reuse this water. What […]

At this time of year getting in the car for the early morning commute is an even more unpleasant affair. Aside from clearing the car of frost on the outside, often we’re greeted with condensation and musty smells on the inside. Trying to clear a windscreen of ice when it’s on the inside and de-icer […]

Many people buy dehumidifiers to clear condensation from windows or damp and mould from walls. What often gets overlooked are the large health benefits that also come from maintaining your home within the ideal relative humidity range (40% to 60%RH). These benefits are particularly prominent for allergy and asthma sufferers, but maintaining a healthy humidity […]

How Expensive Are Dehumidifiers To Run? I often get asked about the running costs and energy efficiency of dehumidifiers, after all, the cost of electricity is rising much faster than inflation. Even with the economy picking up I think that in the coming years and decades people are still going to look to save wherever […]
