Can high humidity damage clothes without professional help?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet. Even with the dehumidifier running non-stop, I can still feel moisture seeping into the fabric of my clothes and hear faint dripping sounds at night. Is it even possible to manage this level of humidity on my own, or should I be looking into professional help?

High humidity can indeed damage clothes and even make them less comfortable to wear. In the UAE, especially during rainy seasons like you've mentioned, managing indoor humidity becomes more critical due to the climate conditions. Persistent dampness in your bedroom closet is not uncommon, but it's important to understand how it affects your clothing.
Excess moisture can lead to several issues with your clothes. It might promote fungal growth which could cause discoloration and weaken fabric over time. Moreover, moisture provides an ideal environment for mold spores to thrive, potentially leading to musty odors that are hard to remove. The constant dripping sounds you hear at night suggest there may be a more significant issue than just high humidity. Given the severity of your situation, it might not be feasible to manage this level of humidity on your own.
