Running the exhaust fan is a good way to eliminate water vapor in the kitchen and bathroom.
It is good practice in storage spaces to open doors to let in warm air, place slatted boards underneath stored belongings, and leave several centimeters of space between stored items and walls.
Open-flame gas heaters give off water vapor when operated.(Use of petroleum-fired heaters is prohibited.)
It’s a good idea to open your windows to ventilate your apartment 5 to 10 minutes before you go to bed.
Place a mat or carpet between the floor and your mattress rather than placing the mattress directly on the floor.
Opening air vents is another good practice that can help prevent condensation.
Drying laundry indoors can cause condensation and mold.
【Sink】 | 【Unit bath】 | 【Toilet】 | ||
Using a strainer is a good way to keep garbage out of your sink’s drain. If water seems to drain sluggishly from the sink, you can run some powder detergent through the drain to clean it. |
Clean the drain trap (outlet) frequently, about once a month (or once every two weeks for individuals with long hair). |
Never flush foreign objects down the toilet. Only toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet. (Never use tissue paper.) If the toilet becomes clogged, use a plunger (see below) to unclog it. You can purchase a plunger at your local hardware store. | ||
