why are things dirtier/appear dirtier in more humid areas?

982 views

recently moved from dry Colorado to humid southern coastal California and outdoor chairs seem to get dirtier faster, especially after overnight/early morning dew. having to clean the house bathrooms more frequently since shower steam is somehow making the counters appear dirty. Is it just my perception or is this a thing? notice it more with bathroom areas so wondering if it’s the humidity. any suggestions to combat this?
