9 Tips for Humidifier Use & Maintenance

Humidifiers are appliances that add moisture to the air by producing and dispersing water vapor. But not all humidifiers are created equal: There are several different design types, and a surprising number of features to choose from. Used correctly, they can solve or improve several common issues:

• Raising air humidity levels to at least 30 percent can improve symptoms of breathing-related issues caused by dry air.1

• Skin irritation caused by dry air can be relieved by humidifying the air.

• Wood furniture and woodwork are less likely to dry out and crack if the home's humidity levels are kept in the target 30 to 50 percent range.

• Moist air feels warmer and conducts heat better. In the wintertime, humidified air will feel warmer than bone-dry air.
