■ Ventilate frequently on sunny days and when humidity is low.

​

1.Open the windows and turn on the exhaust fan

Open the window and then turn on the exhaust fan.

​

2.If there is a 24-hour ventilation system, don`t turn it off

If there is a vent installed, keep it open.

■ Avoid opening windows to ventilate during the rainy season or on rainy days.

During seasons or days when humidity is high, opening the windows to ventilate is unlikely to reduce the humidity, so use the dehumidification function on your air conditioner or a dehumidifier to reduce humidity.

After using wet areas such as the kitchen, bathroom, or sink, wipe off any water immediately and ventilate the area thoroughly.

​

After bathing, run cold water on the walls and floor of your bathroom to lower the temperature and wash away any remaining soap stains.

It will be more effective if you wipe off the water from the walls and bathtub with a squeegee or microfiber cloth.

If you have an air conditioner with a dehumidifying function or a dehumidifier, use the dehumidifier to remove moisture.

​

During seasons of high humidity, it is safer to keep the dehumidifier running at all times, even when you are away from the room.

Moisture tends to accumulate in closets, shoe cabinets, and kitchen storage shelves, so be sure to open the doors frequently to reduce humidity.
