"You might use one in a damp basement, another in a condensation-prone bedroom, or a utility room where you use a dehumidifier to dry clothes,"
"When indoor air becomes overly dry, it can start to affect natural materials like wood and paper,"
"You might see wooden floors and furnishings start to shrink or crack, and any books and paperwork could become brittle. Your houseplants will also suffer as they need moisture in the air."
Dehumidifiers improve air quality and prevent mould, but excessive use can over-dry indoor air and cause harm. Most homes require one dehumidifier per problem area; large homes may need two or three, while higher-capacity units can cover multiple rooms. Typical placements include damp basements, condensation-prone bedrooms, and utility rooms used for drying clothes. Overly dry air can damage natural materials such as wood and paper, causing floors and furnishings to shrink or crack and making books brittle. Houseplants will suffer without adequate humidity, and occupants can experience irritation from air that is too dry.
