It’s possible to remove too much humidity from the air, but it’s very unlikely. Dehumidifiers have moisture sensors and settings to control how they function, so they can pause when the air inside your home reaches a certain humidity level. This means that most modern dehumidifiers won’t dry out the air to the point where it’s uncomfortable. But older, more basic dehumidifiers that are left on too long could potentially dry out the air so much that your skin, hair, and sinuses start to feel dry.

Taking good care of your dryer will help ensure its longevity and keep your clothes nice and dry. Some dryer maintenance tips include:

• Clearing the lint screen after every use

• Deep cleaning the lint screen with detergent every three months

• Don’t overload your dryer

• Cleaning the dryer vent at least once a year

• Cleaning the dryer drum twice a year with a microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol

Expect costs between $100 and $200, depending on the vent system's complexity and accessibility and regional pricing differences.

To lower humidity quickly, run a dehumidifier or your home's air conditioner or turn on exhaust fans to extract moisture. These methods can quickly and effectively bring your home's humidity levels to a comfortable condition. However, you should consistently practice humidity-reducing tasks to maintain proper indoor humidity levels.
