How to reduce indoor humidity without a dehumidifier 如何不用除湿机就降低家中湿气

The best way to reduce humidity indoors is with a dehumidifier. However, if you do not own a dehumidifier or the humidity problem is mild, these are a few hacks you can use to dehumidify your home. These methods are fairly easy and use equipment you would already have at home.

(解决家中湿气最好的方法就是出动除湿机。但如果你并没有除湿机,或者湿气并没有很重,以下几个小撇步教你如何除去家中湿气。这些方法相当容易,且是使用你家中可能已经有的器具。)

humid

humid 为形容词,是「(空气和天气状况) 潮湿的,湿润的」,而有另一个常用于形容潮湿的字为 moist,通常会用于形容物件。

dehumidifier

dehumidifier 为名词,就是「除湿机」啦!这个字的组成是 de (除去、相反) + humidifier,而 humidifier 就是相反于除湿机的存在「加湿器」,很有趣吧!

I hate rainy season! It’s so humid all the time, and it leaves everything in my room slightly damp. Let’s turn on the dehumidifier.

我好讨厌雨季!空气一直都很潮湿,我房间的地板又湿又滑的。我们把除湿机打开吧!

1. VENTILATE YOUR ROOM 通风

Keep your home ventilated, especially in areas that usually create moisture such as your kitchen and the bathroom. Open windows and doors if possible, and keep vents or fans on for longer to ensure sufficient ventilation. Having proper ventilation in your home for at least a few hours a day can greatly help to reduce indoor humidity.

(保持家中通风,尤其是特别会产生湿气的地方,例如厨房还有浴室。尽量保持门窗畅通,长时间打开通风口或风扇以确保通风量足够。一天家中至少有几个小时保持适当通风即可有效帮助降低家中湿气。)

ventilate

ventilate 为动词,有「(使通风,使空气流通);说到,提到」的意思。

Cacti prefer to live in well-ventilated environments.

仙人掌比较喜欢通风的环境。

2. AIR ConDITIONING 开冷气

Turning on your air conditioning not only cools down the room, it will also help reduce indoor humidity especially during humid weather.

(打开冷气不光是使房间凉爽,在潮湿的天气时也能帮助降低室内湿气。)

3. FANS 开电扇

Fans are excellent at moving warm stale air around in the room. A fan will increase the airflow in the room that will remove excess moisture through evaporation.

(电扇可以有效的循环室内不新鲜的热空气。电扇也可以增加室内空气流动,藉由水气蒸发来排除多余的湿气。) 

evaporation 

evaporate 为名词,有「挥发,蒸发;消失,消散」的意思。

The evaporation of water into the air is caused by heat.

高温使水蒸发到空气中。

4. REPLACe FURNACE / AC FILTERS 更换暖炉/冷气滤网

Clean your furnace and AC filter units regularly. If your furnace or AC filters are clogged, they will slow down airflow and won’t be as efficient in reducing humidity.

(定期清理暖炉还有冷气滤网。如果你的暖器或冷气滤网阻塞,它们会降低空气流动速率使除湿效率降低。)

5. take SHORTER OR COLDER SHOWERS 缩短洗澡时间或洗冷水澡

Showers produce a lot of excess steam that will increase humidity indoors. The longer your shower, the more steam is produced. To reduce the excess moisture, crack a window open or leave the exhaust fan on a little longer after your shower. Alternatively, take colder showers if you can—they produce less steam and have less effect on humidity. Moreover, cold showers can be good for your health!

(洗澡会产生很多多余的水蒸气,使室内湿气增加。洗澡时间越长,越多水蒸气产生。为了降低多余的水蒸气,洗完澡之后打开窗户或让抽风扇开久一点。或者如果可以的话洗冷水澡,这会产生较少的水蒸气,进而减少对环境湿度的影响。题外话,洗冷水澡对身体很好喔!)

steam

steam 为动名词同形,在这里是作为名词,意思是「蒸汽,水蒸气」,作为动词时有「依蒸汽动力行驶;蒸 (食物)」。我们很常用来烫衣服的「蒸气电熨斗」就是 steam iron 喔!

Wearing glasses and a mask at the same time is so inconvenient! I can’t see because of the steam on my lenses!

同时戴眼镜和口罩超不方便的!眼镜上面一天到晚都有水蒸气!

6. LINE DRY CLOTHES OUTDOORS 在户外晒衣

Hanging wet clothes indoors will increase indoor humidity levels, especially in rooms where ventilation is bad. The best option to reduce indoor humidity is to hang clothes to dry outdoors, especially during humid seasons. If that is not an option (such as in apartments with no balconies), then use a clothes dryer that is vented to the outdoors.

(在室内晾湿衣服会增加室内湿气,尤其是空气不流通的房间。最好可以降低室内湿气的选项是在室外晾衣服,在潮湿的季节更是。如果这个方法不可行 (住处没有阳台),使用可以排风至户外的干衣机。)

7. CRACK A WINDOW OPEN 开窗户

The easiest trick to reduce indoor humidity is to crack a window open! Create more airflow by leaving the window open to dry the air out especially in damp rooms such as the bathroom and kitchen.

(降低室内湿度最简单的方法就是开窗!藉由开窗使室内空气流动量增加,降低潮湿房间的湿度,例如浴室和厨房。)

8. PLACE HOUSEPLANTS OUTSIDE 将家中植株移至户外

Did you know plants release moisture vapour into the air? Temporarily place your plants outdoors. Also make sure to not over-water your plants.

(你知道植物会将水气蒸散至空气中吗?暂时将你的植物移到户外吧!同时也要注意不帮你的植物浇太多水了喔!)

vapor

vapour 为名词,英式拼音,美式拼音为 vapor,意思是「蒸汽,雾气」。与前面讲到的 steam 的差异在于,steam 通常指「水蒸气」,而 vapor 是「任何物质蒸发之后的蒸气」,例如有毒的汞蒸气 mercury vapor,而 water vapour 也是「水蒸气」喔!

Pollution has become a big problem in the city. A thick vapor clouds the sun almost all the time.

污染已经成为一个真正的问题了,几乎无时无刻城市上方都笼罩着一层厚厚的空污雾气。

9. USE YOUR KITCHEN EXHAUST FANS 使用厨房抽油烟机

Oven and stove-top cooking produce moisture in the air. While cooking, try your best to cover your food to keep steam inside and turn up the kitchen exhaust fans.

(烤箱以及炉灶炊煮会产生水气。在煮菜时,试试看尽量将食物所产生的蒸气盖好并打开抽油烟机。)

exhaust fan

exhaust fan 为名词,为「排风扇」。 exhaust 本身为动名词同形,作为名词时有「(引擎排出的) 废气,排气管」,动词时为「使精疲力尽;用尽」。

When conducting the experiment, please turn on the exhaust fan and make sure the hood is venting properly.

当操作这个实验时,请记得打开排风扇并确保抽风橱有在正常抽风。

This long run will exhaust me; I just know it.

这个长时间的运动会让我筋疲力尽,我知道的。

10. REPLACING YOUR RUG 替换地垫

Rugs have a tendency to collect moisture especially when humidity levels are high indoors. If you notice your rug getting damp or smelling moldy, send it to the dry cleaners to get cleaned.

(地垫会吸附水气,尤其是室内湿度很高的时候。如果你注意到你的地垫变得潮湿或者有霉味,送去干洗店把它洗干净吧!)

11. REPAIRING YOUR WALLS 修好墙壁

Walls that have cracks or holes can also introduce moisture indoors. Warm, moist outside air can travel indoors through cracks and holes during warm, humid weather. this can cause condensation on materials indoors if they are cooler than outside air. If that condensation is not wiped up quickly, it can cause issues such as rotting wood, mold and mildew. Regularly check your home’s external walls to ensure there are no cracks and fix them properly.

(如果墙壁有裂痕或孔洞或将室外的湿气带进室内。温暖、潮湿的户外空气会透过这些裂缝和孔洞进到室内。这会导致室内较户外冷的物品上面产生凝结水珠。如果凝结水没有被尽速擦掉,这会导致木头腐坏、产生霉菌。定期检修家里外部墙壁的状况来确保没有裂痕。)

12. A BASKET OF CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES 放一篮煤炭

Charcoal briquettes can help remove humidity and even odours from the air, thanks to their adsorption properties. Buy a cheap bag of charcoal and fill it in a basket. The charcoal will last for 2–3 months. If possible, look for coconut shell charcoal. This charcoal has high adsorptive power and resists powdering in adsorption—a very important factor.

(煤炭可以除湿甚至是除臭,因为它们具有吸附的特性。买一包便宜的煤炭并放在篮子里。这些煤炭可以作用 2 至 3 个月。如果可以的话,可以用椰子壳来装它们。煤炭具有很高的吸附能力并且在过程中不会粉末化,这是非常重要的特性。)

odour

odour 为名词,英式拼音,美式拼音为 odor,意思是「臭味,气味」。夏天要到了,小 V 想要一直都香香的,总是要喷一下「体香剂」嘛,体香剂的英文就是 de (去除) + odor (臭味) + ant (名词词性结尾),deodorant 喔!

Can you please go wash your hair? I can smell your pungent odor from miles away.

可以拜托你去洗头吗?我从几百公尺外就可以闻到一股臭味了。

13. ROCK SALT 岩盐

Another solution on how to reduce indoor humidity without a dehumidifier is using rock salt, a hygroscopic material. This means that it draws and stores water molecules from its surrounding environment, pulling excess moisture out of the air similar to a dehumidifier.

Take two plastic tubs of the same size. Put an object inside the first tub to elevate the second tub. Drill holes in the second tub and fill it with rock salt. Place the second tub and put it in the first tub. In a few days there will be some water in the bottom tub. Check the bottom tub daily to empty the water. You may also use silica-based kitty litter, zeolite rocks and calcium chloride as substitute to rock salt.

(另外一个不用除湿机来降低室内湿气的方法是使用「岩盐」,一种吸湿的物质,意思是它会从环境吸收并储存水分子,除去空气中多余的水分,作用就有点像除湿机。取两个一样大的塑胶盆。将其中一个盆子内放进一个物品来垫高另外一个盆子。在垫高的盆子下方打洞并倒入岩盐。几天后你会发现下方的盆子内会有些水。每天检查并倒掉下面的积水。你也可以使用猫砂那种矽藻土、沸石或氯化钙来当作岩盐的取代物。)
