Hassle-Free Humidification

Did you know....Portable humidifiers are a pain.  Literally.  Here is a list of "Things to Remember" regarding portable humidifiers.  This list can be found on a major home improvement retailer's website.

  • Always place your humidifier on a hard, level surface that will not be damaged by spilled water.  Do not place your humidifier on a carpet or any cloth.  Air must be allowed to circulate under the appliance.
  • During operation, warm mist humidifiers and steam vaporizers boil water.  Keep the appliance out of reach of children and infants to prevent them from being scalded by the hot water in the appliance.
  • Use only the type of water recommended by the manufacturer.  Some types of water can damage a humidifier.  Do not use water that has been treated with water softener.  The chemical agents found in water softeners can cause problems in the humidifier.
  • Do not use additives in the water that are not specifically recommended by the humidifier manufacturer.  Unless there is a manufacturer's recommendation, using additives can cause irreparable damage.
  • If a medicine cup is provided, only use liquid medications that are specified by their manufacturer for application with the humidifier.
