Maintain a Dehumidifier

 

Did you know that you should clean your dehumidifier every six months? Do you even know how to clean it? Well, it's easy.

Unplug the machine.

Carefully unscrew or pry off the front panels as well as the back if it has one, then put them aside.

Use the small crevice attachment on your vacuum cleaner to clean off the fans and coils. Make sure that you get into all the little nooks and crannies and clean up all of the dust and dirt.

When all of the dust is gone, clean the coils with a toothbrush and a weak soap and water solution. Repeat the process with plain water to rinse them off. Allow the unit to dry.

Grab the water reservoir. It's actually a good idea to clean this part of the dehumidifier once a month. Scrub it inside and out with soapy water and rinse it well. Just make sure that you dry it completely before putting it back in place.
