A TikTok user suggests using inexpensive dehumidifier boxes to combat mold growth in homes, especially during the colder months when air-drying laundry indoors can contribute to the problem.
A TikTok user has highlighted a budget-friendly alternative to expensive dehumidifiers for combating mold in your home during the colder months. The woman created a video on the Sleek Finds TikTok channel, alerting those who air-dry their laundry indoors; a practice she pinpoints as a principal offender for indoor mold growth. While electric dehumidifiers are commonly used to dry the air and fend off mold, the unnamed woman in the video claims she uses dehumidifier boxes instead.
These are much cheaper than traditional dehumidifiers. In her narration, the woman warned: 'If you dry wet clothes and towels in your house you're going to regret not listening to this. If your windows are like this it's a clear sign there's too much moisture in the air which causes mold like this to develop in our homes.' Next, she identified one potential source of the problem: 'A common culprit is drying wet clothes and towels in the house especially in the winter months when it's absolutely freezing and very wet outside. So, as always I've been using these dehumidifier boxes to stop that from happening.' She detailed her method: 'They work by extracting moisture from the air and trapping inside here (inside the box) so I chuck them in every room in the house to help stop the condensation building up. I even chuck them in the washing machine when I close the door because there's so much moisture that gets caught in there and it creates the smell of damp.' Not everyone is convinced by the TikToker's hack, with some viewers expressing doubts. One commenter suggested: 'Please buy an electric dehumidifier! So much more effective and your clothes dry so much faster.' Another shared their own experience with an electric dehumidifier, saying: 'We have a dehumidifier that you plug in. We empty a full tank every few days, more expensive but worth it in the long run.' However, for those on a tight budget, the dehumidifier boxes might be a handy alternativ
