Do Dehumidifiers Stop Mould?

Do dehumidifiers stop mould?

Mould is a very common problem in Maltese households. Mould occurs around 68% humidity, condensation occurs at 100%. As you can see from this you can have mould but still have clear windows. A dehumidifier will prevent the mould from getting any worse and once you have cleaned the mould away, it will stop it from coming back.

Why does water appear on windows/cupboards/walls?

It is a basic law of physics that if the surface is cold enough and if there is enough water vapor in the air, then it will condense. This means, in if windows, whether they are double-glazed or not, are cold enough and there is enough moisture in the air then condensation will occur. This is why we get more condensation during winter because windows are colder.

What does a dehumidifier do?

Our Meaco Arete dehumidifier models compressor-based dehumidifiers draw air in from the room over a filter and pass it over some cold coils similar to the coils on a fridge. As the coils are cold, water condenses and drips into a bucket. The air is then reheated to room temperature and blown back out of the dehumidifier.
