Three Ways Homeowners Can Benefit from Humidifiers 

Perfecting the home’s humidity is an art form. Residents can suffer chapped lips, dry skin, and itchy eyes if the humidity gets too low. Yet, mold can grow if the humidity gets too high, and furniture might always feel wet. Getting the humidity just right is key. But how? 

This is where having a whole-home humidifier comes in handy. A whole-home humidifier ensures that the home’s humidity is between 30 to 50 percent, which is ideal for most people. If one’s still unsure about whether getting a humidifier is right for them, they should consider the following benefits: 

Respiratory Wellness 

benefitsHumidifiers ultimately promote good indoor air quality (IAQ). By speeding up the water evaporation process (and adding water vapor to the air), they reduce these health complications: 

  • Coughing 
  • Sneezing 
  • Wheezing
  • Congestion
  • Fatigue 
  • Sinus pressure
  • Headaches 

Mayo Clinic notes that humidifiers also reduce the likelihood of transmitting certain illnesses, like colds and Covid-19. This means, with proper measures, if one person in the house gets sick, it’s not guaranteed that everyone will, too. 

Improved Skincare 

The skin is the human body’s biggest organ. Yet, many neglects to properly take care of it. To reduce complications, they might rely too much on creams, lotions, and other over-the-counter remedies. Yet, there’s nothing better for the skin than good humidity. Humidifiers ultimately: 

  • Keep skin from drying out. Dry skin makes people feel itchy. It can also lead to slight discoloration and blemishes, like cracks. 
  • Prevent lips from drying out. Lips don’t have sweat glands, meaning they can dry out easily. Endless applying chapstick only goes so far when a home has low humidity. 
  • Promote smooth skin. Well-hydrated skin feels softer to the touch than dry, crackly skin. 
  • Reduce wrinkles. Wrinkles are more prominent on one’s face when the skin isn’t hydrated. 

Both warm and cool mist humidifiers are ideal for improving skin quality. As noted, these devices essentially speed up the evaporation of water and emit vapor through a spout. The water generally isn’t hot, so it doesn’t affect the room’s overall temperature. This device is ideal for child’s rooms, nurseries, and other areas with high foot traffic. 

Longer-Lasting Plants 

plantsMany indoor plants need humidity to survive. With proper humidity, leaves don’t dry out. That allows plants to continue absorbing light and making food for themselves. It also prevents the soil from drying out faster than usual. Dry soil prevents the plant from getting adequate nutrition. 

When a home’s indoor plants are in good shape, they can improve IAQ by filtering out unpleasant smells, like smoke. They can generate oxygen, literally letting residents breathe easier. 

Before getting a humidifier, it’s good to note that some need humidity more than others. For instance, aloe vera thrives in arid environments, so it doesn’t need a lot of humidity. The same can’t be said for Boston ferns, which thrive in humid climates.
