No, table salt is not a dehumidifier. While salt can absorb moisture from the air, it doesn't work in the same way as a dedicated dehumidifier.
Here's why:
- Dehumidifiers use mechanical processes: They draw in moist air, cool it down, and condense the water vapor into a collection container.
- Salt absorbs moisture through hygroscopic properties: It attracts and holds water molecules, but this process is much slower and less efficient than a dehumidifier.
While salt can be used in some DIY humidity control methods, it's not a reliable or efficient solution for removing moisture from the air.
For effective dehumidification, use a dedicated dehumidifier.
