Coarse salt in the bedroom, hurry up and put it under your pillow: it changes your life

Coarse salt can have multiple uses. We usually use it for cooking, or to degrease, perhaps together with vinegar, bicarbonate, etc.

In fact, few people know that  it can also be useful as a dehumidifier  . Excess humidity is a problem that occurs in any home during winter and autumn, especially  during particularly rainy seasons  . Generally, when it is cold, everything is kept closed, windows, balconies, so the steam after showering and cooking  is trapped in the house  .

The inevitable consequence is the formation of  dampness on the walls and therefore mould  . Sometimes dampness is also caused by water draining from and to balconies, both in condominiums and single-family homes. Dampness forms easily, just as easily turns into mould and is then almost impossible to remove.

Humidity in the house, because mold forms.

The solution that comes to mind is  to buy dehumidifiers  , which are expensive and do not always give the desired result, because the humidity persists. Some people buy dehumidifiers, fans, vacuum cleaners, anti-mold spray products, but the end result is almost always disappointing.

First of all, you have to pay attention to the small mistakes that you make every day. For example, when  you turn on the stove  , whether it is one or more, you should always turn on the hood, even if it is  very noisy  and annoying. If the weather permits, so that it does not rain and it does not get cold, it is necessary to keep the windows open, even better if you have large windows, which let in much more air.  In this case, the recirculation is greater  and the humidity is better contrasted.

When you shower, you turn on the fans, or even in this case, you open the windows. Finally, it is best  not to hang very wet clothes at home,  because it is true that with the heat that is artificially created in winter they dry faster than outside, but it is also true that  the water that evaporates is absorbed by the walls  and then turns into mold. Those who have plants on the balcony make another mistake, that is, they pour too much water into the saucers, which then comes out and  stagnates  .

This makes the indoor environment unhealthy and therefore unsuitable for children. A damp and mouldy house also smells bad and becomes problematic to live in. We must act and solve the problem quickly and in any way possible.

Coarse salt as a natural remedy, super convenient

Coarse salt  can come to the rescue, because  it is a very low-cost dehumidifier that you can make with your own hands.  Coarse salt  absorbs the moisture  present in all rooms of the house, once it is moistened it can be replenished without spending who knows how much money to buy it again. The humidity of the salt is proof that it really works.

To use it as our grandmothers did, just take an empty plastic bottle and split it in two. Then dry it thoroughly and pour 150 grams of coarse salt inside. This amount is enough to dehumidify a room measuring 5m x 5m.

Salt in the bottle, how to know how much humidity there was in a room.

The bottle inside which the organza bag with the coarse salt is to be placed should be pierced at the bottom and then placed in a container. To find out how much humidity there was in the room,  just look at the water that forms underneath  .

Alternatively, coarse salt can be placed inside an organza bag and then placed in a strainer, placed  inside a fairly large container  . The quantities of  coarse salt to be placed in the room  vary depending on the size of the room, however we are talking about a  minimum of 100 grams of coarse salt  , up to a maximum of 150.

The alternative to coarse salt, salt lamps.

If you do not want to use  coarse salt  , because it can be difficult to put it in a bag or bottle, strainer, etc., you can buy  a salt lamp.  This is an  electric dehumidifier  , with high energy consumption, which remains on for long periods and at the same time  dries out the humidity present in the rooms  .

This lamp is made from  Himalayan salt  and is sold everywhere. It usually costs around 40 or 60 euros. The price varies depending on the size. It can also be  purchased online  at unbeatable prices and is perfect for bedrooms. Once turned on,  it creates a  magnificent, romantic, magical atmosphere, the light it emits is soft, orange.
