Tips for preserving electronic devices in humid weather

Keep away from places where water can collect.

To preserve electronic devices in humid weather, you should pay attention to placing items away from places that can cause water to accumulate such as floors, walls, glass surfaces, etc.

TVs, speakers, computers... should not be placed directly on the floor. If placed close to the wall, you should create a 10cm gap so that air can circulate and help these devices dissipate heat better.

Maintain use

Even when you don't need it, you should turn on the TV, music player, speakers... once a day and each time for about 10-15 minutes. This helps electronic devices generate heat, limiting water condensation.

Or instead of turning off the power completely, you can leave the electronic device in standby mode for a certain period of time. When in standby mode, these devices do not turn off completely, this also helps generate heat and especially saves electricity compared to having to turn on the devices when you do not need them.

Close the door and turn on the air conditioner

Many people have the misconception that when the weather is humid, turning on the fan and opening the windows can reduce this condition. However, if you do so, the humidity will worsen and electronic devices will be at greater risk of failure and damage. The best way is to close the door and use the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner.

You should do this 1-2 times a day, 10-15 minutes each time. This is the most effective and commonly used way to overcome dampness.

Use anti-humidity devices

For camera equipment, you should equip a specialized anti-humidity cabinet. The cabinet should have a large capacity because in addition to storing cameras, lenses... you can store important documents, phones, tablets...

The anti-humidity cabinet should be kept in a humidity condition of about 30 - 55%. However, it should be noted that it should not be stored in an environment that is too dry because it will affect the machine parts.

How to keep your house dry during wet weather

- Always keep the door closed:Sweaty floors and wet objects are extremely unpleasant things caused by humid weather. Under normal conditions, just opening the door to let in the wind will improve the situation. However, when it is humid, the high humidity winds blowing into the house only make it more humid.

- Wipe the floor with a dry cloth:Humidity is always present in the air when the weather is humid. Therefore, it will have the opposite effect if you intend to improve the items or floors with wet, damp cloths. Instead, use dry towels and rags to absorb the water on the items.

- Turn on the air conditioner in dry mode:If your home has a two-way air conditioner, turn on the dry mode. In cold and humid weather conditions, air conditioning is the optimal method to improve the wet condition. The dry, warm air from the air conditioner will absorb the moisture in the space, making the house airy, helping to protect the health of the whole family.

- Do not turn on the fan:Do not turn on the fan when the weather is humid. Because the wind will suck in the humid air, making the house even more humid; therefore, absolutely do not turn on the fan to avoid making the house even wetter when the weather is humid.

- Use essential oils:To avoid the bad smell caused by the humid weather, you can use essential oils in the corners of the house. You should use light scents such as lavender and lemon to make the house smell most pleasant.

You can also light scented candles in the middle of the living room. The burning candle will absorb all the bad odors, mold, and cigarette smoke in the room.
