As a potentially obvious plus, it is also completely silent so there is no risk of being woken up or disturbed by this model. Furthermore, this makes it suitable for use in homes with children who are light sleepers.

Why is a Dehumidifier in your Wardrobe Important?

By investing in a wardrobe dehumidifier you are actually increasing the life-span of your clothing and accessories. Dehumidifiers work by extracting any excess moisture lingering in the air. 

Excessive humidity can have a damaging impact on your personal belongings. Articles of clothing such as your wedding dress, children’s first clothes, or any treasures that you want to pass down the generations will stay pristine with the investment of a dehumidifier. 

Mould will grow readily on clothing made from plant fibres such as cotton and linen, but all kinds of natural fibres (including silk and wool) are also at risk from mould damage. 

Synthetic fibres have a stronger chance of surviving but it can rapidly succumb to musty odours that are associated with mould and mildew. 

Toxic moulds are very efficient at harbouring and damaging cellulose-based fabric materials due to the production of toxins which help them to compete against other species. 

Moulds on fabric produce enzymes that break down the cellulose or protein to compounds which the mould uses as food. Mould growing on clothing also has health risks involved. There is an increased chance of getting mycotoxin poisoning which can be extremely severe.

How to Choose the Right Dehumidifier for your Wardrobe

While determining what type of dehumidifier is ideal for your wardrobe there are a few factors you might want to consider before making the investment.

1. Size – this is the most important factor when finding the correct dehumidifier for your wardrobe. Is your wardrobe custom-built, large and luxurious, or is it small, and standard sized? When determining the size you will want to base it on the square footage of that particular space.
2. Capacity – something you might want to consider when choosing your dehumidifier is its capacity. Do you want something that you have to empty frequently, or something large enough to not have to do that on the regular? 
3. Price – There are definitely pros and cons to spending more, but you also want to consider what options there are that are more reasonable within your price range. Sometimes, more expensive means better, but many budget models are just as good.
4. Sound – This can make or break a purchase. Running a noisy appliance in an area such as your wardrobe can lead to a disruptive night of tossing and turning with little sleep. 
5. Energy Efficient – When choosing your dehumidifier, that is a key feature to look for. Fortunately, all of the ones listed above are all energy-efficient, making them environmentally friendly.

Types of Dehumidifiers for Wardrobes and Closets

There are three main types of dehumidifiers that you will come across when searching for a dehumidifier for your wardrobe. 

1. Hanging 
   1. These dehumidifiers hang in the wardrobe and don’t require any power in order to get them working. They have surprising capacities for their size, and are highly efficient to help rid our wardrobe of excess water.
2. Disposable 
   1. These are a great option for those who want a temporary solution that offers them great results without needing to invest in a whole new appliance. They tend to be small and have an excellent capacity for all situations. 
3. Standard Electric
   1. These can be run via the mains or batteries, and they are a more permanent solution. Overall, they are an excellent choice – especially for larger or walk-in wardrobes.

Benefits of Using a Dehumidifier in your Wardrobe

There are several benefits to using a wardrobe in your wardrobe. If your closet is made out of wood or has wood furnishings, high humidity can cause damage that you will eventually start noticing. 

This can include warping of the wood, causing the doors to no longer be able to close properly and for the wardrobe to become misshapen. It can also cause cracks and splits in the wood. 

Not only that, humidity is a huge cause of mould spores and mildew growth. If you have noticed that your belongings start smelling like mildew, high humidity is most likely the cause.

Higher humidity levels are also responsible for rust and corrosion. You might notice that the racks in your closet have started rusting. This is definitely a sign that your closet has too much humidity and you need to buy a dehumidifier.
