A humidifier can be a useful addition to your home when indoor air becomes dry, but where you place it—and how you maintain it—matters.
Start with a stable, water-resistant surface where accidental moisture won't damage furniture, electronics, books, or other belongings. Follow your particular humidifier manufacturer's recommendations regarding placement and clearance.
Avoid positioning the unit where mist is constantly directed onto walls, bedding, curtains, furniture, or electronic devices.
Your bedroom may seem like the obvious location, but don't automatically place a humidifier directly beside your pillow. The best position depends on the type of humidifier and its manufacturer's instructions.
Cleaning is equally important.
Because humidifiers hold water, regular maintenance should become part of your routine. Emptying, cleaning, and refilling the unit according to its instructions helps keep it operating properly.
And don't assume that maximum humidity is always better.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency generally recommends keeping indoor relative humidity between 30% and 50%. Excessive moisture can encourage unwanted biological growth in the home.
A small humidity monitor, or hygrometer, can help you understand the conditions in your room rather than simply guessing.

Sometimes getting more from a product isn't about buying another one.
