I’ve started writing A review of the best humidifiers connected to New York City during the longest drought period. In November, my radiator bent and blew up my 100s-old Brooklyn apartment with heat. According to mine Indoor air quality monitormy humidity hovered at 32%. My nose is dry inside and my skin is very dry. My houseplants need to be watered more than usual. There is a wildfire in Brooklyn’s Foreground Park that requires more than 200 firefighters. That means it’s drought.
The interior of a barbecue is more than just lips or dry nose. According to the recommendation Harvard University School of Public Healthindoor humidity can slow down the spread of 19.19. The ideal indoor humidity should be between 40% and 60%. and Research It is shown that higher ambient humidity and higher temperatures also inhibit the spread of influenza. Those small humidifiers can do a lot.
Nevertheless, the first abandoned device I saw on the nearby st feet was the humble humidifier. Usually, they carry a Paddington Bear-style label that says “still work!” I also see them being discarded in the trash. I also got multiple humidifiers and I felt introverted. I gave up when I couldn’t seem to clean the brown film at the bottom of the tank. I started with good will and filled them with recommended distilled water, but eventually I would switch to the faucet. I got better and properly cleaned my last humidifier with water and citric acid and bought it at the spice store.
Still, minerals in the water are a problem. If you have hard water, your humidifier may produce white dusty film. That’s why so many models recommend distilled water or a filter included. And I went through the whole dry and hot winter because I didn’t want to deal with humidifiers.

I have been writing about air quality of sutures since 2019. All humidifiers in this review were tested in my 100+ apartments. I’ve been looking for a user-friendly humidifier that can fill a medium room with the ideal moisture. I don’t want to drag distilled water on my stairs. I also want someone who is easy to maintain. I’ve been looking for a stronger and more sustainable relationship with humidifiers. Maybe you want that too.
