Warm Mist Humidifier

U C my 2month old baby sounds very congested at nights.. which would help more?

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!

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??

We heat with a wood furnace equiped with a blower. The wood furnace is in the basemet and the hot air is blown upstairs through a 6 inch flexible duct. I’m looking for a solution other than a kettle on the wood stove or a consol humidifier. Thanks in advance.

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 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 keep hearing these horror stories about bad things coming from a warm mist humidifier but the cool mist ones add a chill to the air that I really don’t enjoy and to be honest they don’t seem to do alot of good for any of us. Do warm mist humidifiers really cause problems?

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.

I have steam heaters and they dry out the air. I have used cool mist humidifiers and they work good but I am looking for other ways to help this.
My questions are:
Are there other ways to keep the air from drying out?
Does putting a pan of cold water on the heater work?
If I put the pan of water on the radiator and it heats up isnt that the same as the purpose of the radiator?

Any ideas on how I can re-hydrate the air when I put the air con on heat at night as my little boy is prone to croup and asthma.

I have a humidifier but I am not keen to run it all night and end up with mouldy ceilings etc. (I run it when he is sick, but don’t want it to be an everyday thing)

Could I put a container of water in his room??

I have 2 dogs. My dog that I had longer has always had allergies. The other day I just brought home a new dog and I noticed he sneezes too. I personally think it has to do with dust particles in my house because I can feel it too. Do you think I should get an air cleaner and a humidifier to reduce this problem?

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.

During the winter the dry air causes my nose to bleed really bad and having a humidifier is the only way I’ve been able to control it. Im looking for a inexpensive way to solve my condensation problem. My house is 30 years old but it has been remodeled. Any help would be apreciated. I’ve been told to crack a window? Thanks

function ?

1) nasal cavity
2) epiglottis
3) diphragm
4) cartilage rings

Cold unfinished basement, Aprilair humidifier. I looked inside of the main heat ducts in the basement and saw black mold coating the inside surface. Is it because the duct is cold and hot moist air is pushing through it- causing condensation? How do I remedy this? Can the mold be removed? Are humidifiers unhealthy?

I love my house, it is an big old farm house. It is about 175 years old. Big problem though….the air in my house is so dry. I wake up blowing my nose with blood in it b/c the air is so dry…(plus I have a cold..but none the less…) I can not afford to buy a humidifier….any suggestions as to what I can do…my husband is deployed so he is of no help….ugh..I am hating waking up like this..plus of course the heat is uneven in my house..some areas are much warmer than others…it’s an old farm house what can I say…I have a propane majestic stove in my living room..could I put a tea kettle on that to put moisture in the air..but for one it does not run constant and two…would it do any good in a house this size?? That one little tea kettle????
Thanks so much..I would have to buy like 5 humidifiers…or one really big one..the really big oneis very $$…but thank you so much for the advice..I will try putting down bowls of water and hopefully my dog and cats don’t drink it all….

I want to get a ball python but i want to figure everything out first. I’ve heard that you have to keep the cage at a certain humidity range, could i use a regular humidifier from wal-mart (not a pet one) and just put it in the room not in the cage, maybe keep it on low, or high which ever is needed.

And also, wat would happen to a snake if it got to humid? not like water filling the cage but just heavy air.

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’ve had some plants before that aren’t just nice to look at, but it seemed that they made their surroundings more pleasant too. i’d prefer not to go the humidifier route, as they can be noisy and/or cause mold.

are there any house plants you could recommend to help keep indoor air clean and comfortable until the time comes when we can open the windows again? (also very important: they MUST not be toxic to pets!)

thanks, i’m breathing better already!

I have one of those circular-shaped humidifiers – the one where you fill the water from the top, and the motor and spinning mechanism are all located in the piece you remove to fill the water.

It makes a horrid racket at night. It tends to reverberate with a very low, bassy tone, and it drives me crazy. This time of the year, I really need the moisture added to the air, but is there anything I can do to stifle the noise it generates a little bit?

moisture into the air? My facial skin is becoming so dry from the indoor heating. I would just need it for my bedroom. What is the best humidifier(or vaporizer) to buy for this purpose?Does a Vaporizer do the same thing?

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?
