When temperatures drop and you’re running the heat like a madman, the inside of your home can become uncomfortable and painfully dry. Que the humidifiers! Living in the South, I never had a need for humidifiers, but oh man my humidifier is my best friend now!

If you feel sick, have a dry nose or throat, or have bloody noses or dry skin, a humidifier is necessary to solving those issues. Small humidifiers (under 1 Gallon) are budget-friendly, but unless you’re using it in a very small space, they will do you no good.

Is a humidifier right for you?

If you suffer from asthma, chronic allergies, any other health concerns, consult with your doctor or healthcare professional before using a humidifier, as it may cause your condition(s) to worsen.

Having a humidifier inside your home during the colder months is essential. If the air is too dry, you increase your risk of dry skin, nosebleeds, dry eyes, and a sore throat.

When using a humidifier, remember it’s extremely important to properly clean it to prevent mold and bacterial growth in the water reservoir. Regular cleaning and changing of filter (if it has one) are necessary to ensure the humidifier is providing you with clean and healthy air. 

I prefer cleaning almost everything with vinegar and my humidifier is no different! Read how to clean a humidifier with vinegar.
