Hunter Humidifier

My 10 week old has a little cough and some congestion. The pediatrician is not worried, but I would like to provide some relief to my child. I would like to add some eucalyptus oil to our Vicks Warm Air humidifier. Our model has a liquid medicine chamber just for this purpose. How many drops of oil should I add per night and do I need to mix the drops with another substance like olive oil? Are there other essential oils that are beneficial to babies to encourage relaxation during sleep?

I recently got a Cool Mist Air Humidifier, maybe less than2 weeks ago,and my room has usually been at 65/66/67 for personal preference (I sleep really well if it is cold and my lizards don’t mind it and I don’t myself) but the Cool Mist is bringing my room down in temperature a lot. Currently my room is 61 degrees and it is 24 degrees outside – Winter. What do you suggest I do? It does help me breathe when sleeping. Thanks!

It is winter here and the air inside my place is dry.

I keep getting static electricity shocks every time I pet the cat. Should I get a humidifier, or is there some other reason for the static?

Thanks

In the hot summers, people use dehumidifiers to remove moisture and cool down your home.
So on average during the winter we keep our thermostat at 20°C
Will using a humidifier to release moisture into the air warm a room?
Scratch the last line!
Will using a humidifier to release moisture into the air make a room feel warmer?

i have terrible allergies and i am always sick. i was thinking about getting an air purifier or a humidifier but im not sure which would be best for me. i have a lot of major electronics in my room and im not sure if the humidifier would interfere with them. also, if i get an air purifier i would like it to be one that you clean the filter because i cant afford to keep buying replacements. does it sacrifice quality to get one with a re-usable filter??

which one would you recommend?
have any other suggestions on what else i could do??

i have a sever cough and my doc reccommended a humidifier. im in a finished basement bedroom with no air vent or windows if that matters. Dont worry its not like a jail cell haha. thanks.

I am trying to set up my nursery, which will be a small bedroom. There is not a lot of room to have it all. Which product is the most needed, dehumidifier, humidifier or mister, or an air purifier?

I just bought a cool air humidifier and i’m wondering if it’s ok to leave it on all night and need some info about it >: over long term is there anything I should watch out for? So far I know that I should clean it daily and watch out for germs/bacteria since they thrive on humid areas, and as for the place I set it on >.> its a small table and it got wet, so I put a towel under it lol. Can anyone give me the info that im looking for? Thank You (and I got it because i’m sick x_x allergies turned into maybe a cold)

I always develop a cough when I get home. I live in London, but I’m originally from Africa, could it be that the air is to moist or that I’m not used to central heating? Would installing a humidifier or something help? It’s only at home, not outdoors?

We have been given an older model humidifier. It’s about 3 ft. tall with a big fibrous belt that goes around inside.( It kinda looks like a small chest) It has a funky smell and I want to clean it without causing damage o it or our air quality.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Our air is so dry since we had a new A/C and heating unit installed. We would like to buy a small, quiet, efficient humidifier that is easy to take care of.

We have been told that a humidifier is good if you live in dry climate (we do) but that also a fan would be helpful to keep fresh air circulating. That seems like a lot of appliances on at once in a smaller room. Do we really need both? We live in a condo building so our nursery does not have a window as it is towards our front door which is in an indoor hallway, so a fan is probably a good idea, the humidifier I am not so sure of. What do you think?

Just installed an Flow Though AIR KING 6000 Humidifier with an electronic display. The display keeps flashing the original factory settings. When I adjust the temp it resets and continures flashing. If I adjust it past the relitive humidity point, it turns the relay on for a split second and resets and continues flashing. Can’t seem to get this thing working.

Not the humidifier. where it releases humidity into the room but i’m talking about the machine that actually catches the humidity from the air and stores it in like an empty gallon and then u toss the water out. beause my basement is very humid and i don’t know how to et rid of it! please help me or give me advice!

I swear I go through humidifiers like crazy! All the ones I get just seem to kind of spray a mist into the air in the area of the humidifier but the overall moisture in the room never gets better. The past 3 that Ive had (and they werent cheep!) i put right next to my bed….. it misted water into the air and soaked my nightstand and side of my bed…and even though it was less than a foot away from my head, I still find myself waking up stuffy and dry.

Sometimes I boil a pot of water on the stove and the steam seems to really help the air in my kitchen/dining room….but I obviously cant keep a pot of boiling water on the stove all night (and its not realistic for adding moisture to the bedrooms..)..

What brand humidifier can you reccomend for me? I dont have a tun of money to spend but I’m willing to pay for something that works really well.
Not looking for an air purifyer or filter..just something to add moister into the room.
I do have a honeywell air filter that I love.

Humidifiers are primarily used during the dry season; which could also be considered the cold season. So, it makes sense for there to be hot-air humidifiers but where do cold-air models fit in? You still need to keep your room warm, but with some heating options like hot air heat it seems like it would cancel out any benefit of having a cold-air humidifier, since it would have to be on high constantly just to compensate for the heating. I’ve heard many people say it’s good to keep your room cool even when you have a cold/sore throat but I don’t understand how this could be better than the healing benefits of hot steam air or even a sauna. What are the benefits of a cold room? It’s 75 in my room right now and I’m still cold because this evaporative cold-air humidifier is pumping out cold air. I’m thinking I’ll trade it in for a Vick’s vapor rub humidifier. What’s the correct answer here?

Thanks for any help.

walls been looked at and no damp just said nedd air to go round ! have window vent open always and window open most days,daught around window seal as well..seems plenty of air about..weird

The air is really dry in my dorm room because I constantly have hot air coming from the vent (I’m always cold). However, this is making my skin and throat unbearably dry. I want to increase the humidity of the air in my room, but I don’t have a humidifier? What can I do?

Or must I close the windows ? I love fresh air and I live beside a forest with wonderful air, the only problem is that its vey moist here.

I have a warm air humidifier, and i put a little vicks vaporub on the top, where there’s like a little space to put stuff. Is this okay to do? will it help my runny nose and cough?

myself and my son moved into an in law recently and it gets very dusty daily!!! carpets, walls everything…every time i pick something up i can see things flying in the air!!, every time i sleep i get congested i am going to buy something to sweep up the dust daily but other than that i was wondering if an air purifier would work?….also someone told me that it may make the air in the home very dry….is that a bad thing??!! what can i do to control the dust and whats the help and/or effects of an air purifier????!!!!

…square feet?
I believe in the description it states the humidifier will cover a 860 square foot room. What if the room you have it in is smaller than 860 square feett – will you get the benefit from it in another room?

im worried about my baby she coughs alot i taken her to tha doc already they said that shes may have a virus cause i was sick and now she is coughing???and she cries??she also has respitory problems she has inhalers????

Differences? Reasons? I just want to ensure that my baby is breathing in the cleanest air possible, but with enough humidity in the room. Which will best suit my baby’s needs? Excuse me, I’m currently nesting and going crazy to ensure that everything will super, super, super clean. Even the air, lol.
