What humidity level should I target?

Keep indoor humidity between 30-50 percent. Below 30 causes dry skin and static. Above 50 promotes mold growth. Most dehumidifiers let you set a target and maintain it automatically.

Can a dehumidifier help with allergies?

Yes. Dust mites and mold—two major allergens—thrive above 50 percent humidity. Maintaining 40-50 percent humidity significantly reduces these allergens and can improve allergy symptoms noticeably.
