6 ways to reduce humidity at home during monsoon

Reducing humidity at home during the monsoon can help prevent mold growth, maintain comfort, and protect your belongings. Here are some effective tips. 

Dehumidifier: Invest in a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air.

Windows and Exhaust Fans: Ensure proper ventilation by keeping windows open when it's not raining and using exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms.

AC Units: Use air conditioners, which also help in reducing humidity levels.

Charcoal or Silica Gel: Place moisture-absorbing materials like activated charcoal or silica gel packets in different areas of your home.

Rock Salt: Place bowls of rock salt in humid areas; it absorbs moisture from the air.
