How to Clean Dehumidifier?

After using the dehumidifier for a period of time, a large amount of dust, dirt, and harmful substances such as viruses will accumulate on the filter screen and heat exchanger. Moreover, when the dehumidifier is working with the doors and windows closed, causing the room rarely ventilate, which in turn provides a good growth environment for mites. After the dehumidifier is shut down, the humidity recovers, and mites and bacteria continue to reproduce, causing mold and odor. This can directly affect people's physical health, leading to respiratory diseases, skin diseases, and so on. Especially for newborns and children, the pain and discomfort caused by mites may even accompany them for life.

 

Why need to clean the dehumidifier?

As the usage time increases, the filtering and cleaning functions of the dehumidifier gradually decrease. The accumulated dirt inside the machine hinders air circulation, leading to an increase in the working pressure of the refrigeration system and an increase in the operating load of the compressor, manifested as a decrease in refrigeration rate, an increase in power consumption, and the an increased noise. As a result, cleaning the dehumidifier is an important part of its maintenance to ensure its effective operation and to avoid the growth of mold and bacteria.
