B&M is selling a compact gadget designed to address common household issues, including mould and damp. The budget high street store regularly impresses shoppers with its range of affordable homeware and electronics.

Available to view online and buy in stores, shoppers can get the Blaupunkt Compact Dehumidifier 1L at B&M for 25. The device was originally on sale for 30, but thanks to a 16% off discount, customers can get it for less as part of its 'Air Care' department.

B&M says that the "mains powered" Blaupunkt Compact Dehumidifier "removes excess moisture from the air, combatting damp, condensation, mildew and musty odours". It extracts up to 300ml of excess moisture per day.

It comes with a one-litre water tank that features an in-built automatic shut-off when it gets full. For an extra touch, the gadget has several colour LED mood lights, including purple, blue, red, yellow and green, which can all change or remain constant.

B&M is also selling a Blaupunkt Digital Air Purifier for 39. In the product description, the store says: "The Blaupunkt Air Purifier removes up to 99% of airborne allergens as small as 0.3 microns, including grass pollen, ragweed pollen, household dust, dust mite debris, pet dander, smoke and odours through its three-stage filtration system: sponge filter, HEPA filter and activated carbon filter.

"To further assist the air purification process, the Blaupunkt Air Purifier also includes an ioniser feature, which works by creating a static charge around the airborne contaminants. Once charged with static, these particles (dust, allergens, pet dander etc,) fall from the air."

How can dehumidifiers dry laundry, prevent mould, and improve air quality?

A dehumidifier can help dry laundry by pulling moisture from the air and speeding up the evaporation of water from wet clothes. It also helps prevent indoor areas from getting damp, prevents unpleasant odours, and is more energy-efficient than a regular tumble dryer.

Dehumidifiers enhance the quality of indoor air by removing excess moisture, which prevents the growth of mould, mildew, and dust mites. Although they help decrease these allergens, they don't filter out airborne pollutants such as dust, smoke, or VOCs. To achieve a thorough air cleaning, many homes use a dehumidifier in conjunction with a specific air purifier.

Dust mites and mould spores thrive in high-humidity conditions. By lowering the moisture levels, you effectively starve them.

Getting rid of damp, humid air also helps to eliminate the musty odours often found in poorly ventilated areas like basements or bathrooms. Reducing humidity not only makes the air feel cooler but can also make it easier for people with asthma or respiratory problems to breathe.
