Not sure if the air in your home is too humid? Get a hygrometer like this to find out.

Why does it work?

Coarse salt has the incredible power to attract and absorb moisture in the air.

The moisture will concentrate in the coarse salt and slowly drain to the bottom of the bottle.

This system will make it possible to dry the atmosphere of the room quickly.

On the other hand, do not forget to empty the bottle regularly when it is full of water.
