How To Clean A Dehumidifier And Why It Is Important?
A dehumidifier removes moisture from the air in a room. These devices can be very important to people who have respiratory or other medical problems. When a dehumidifier has been used consistently over a period of time, it is important to clean the unit. Cleaning a dehumidifier will allow proper, more efficient operation. It will also ensure that nothing harmful is being added to the air moving through the machine. A dehumidifier works by passing air over very cold metal elements and allowing the moisture to condense onto plates and drain into a container. The air is re-heated later by heating elements so that the unit does not act as an air conditioner. Moisture can easily collect inside the dehumidifier. This moisture can breed harmful bacteria or molds. This is why it is important to keep the machine clean at all times to prevent these harmful substances from being blown back out into the room with the dry air. The first step in cleaning a dehumidifier is to make sure you have a solution of water and bleach. Traditionally, a ratio of one to ten, bleach to water, is used. The bleach will make sure that almost all the germs are killed and that mold will not soon develop. Begin by cleaning the drainage reservoir with the bleach. Soak it overnight if necessary. This is one of the areas of the unit where moisture will constantly be present, so make sure it is very clean. Next, remove the filter. The filter is the most important part to clean because it can easily taint the air if it becomes too dirty. Use the same bleach solution on the filter unless the dehumidifier’s instructions state otherwise. Make sure that the filter looks and smells clean before finishing. Finally, with all the parts still detached, look inside the dehumidifier. Depending on the manufacturer there may be metal plates, coils, or metal tubes. It is important to check that these are clean as well because they usually attract dust and germs during operation. Wipe these surfaces down. You will also want to clean the fan that draws the air into the machine. After the unit has dried thoroughly, re-assemble it. The clean dehumidifier will now function at peak efficiency and provide clean, dry air.
