depend on how dirty it gets over time. If you notice dust buildup around the filter, wipe it off with a damp cloth. Generally speaking, you should clean your humidifier &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/machinewonders.com\/how-often-change-humidifier-filter\/\">including any filters<\/a> and evaporator plates &#8211; once a month.<\/p><h3>Q: Are humidifiers safe?<\/h3><p>A: Yes, most humidifiers are entirely safe to use. However, we recommend keeping warm mist and vaporizer models safely out of the range of small children and pets.<\/p><h3>Q: What if you want moisture and fragrance?<\/h3><p>A: A diffuser-humidifier combination unit can provide moisture and scent.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/machinewonders.com\/essential-oils-humidifiers\/\">Do not add essential oils to a humidifier<\/a> &#8211; it will likely clog the system and could present a fire hazard.<\/p><h3>Q: Is it possible to install a humidifier without ductwork?<\/h3><p>A: Yes, most people purchase separate independent humidifiers for each room in the house.\u00a0 A whole-house unit, on the other hand, will be installed directly into your existing HVAC system and use the existing ductwork.<\/p><h3>Q: Will a humidifier work well in a basement?<\/h3><p>A: It depends on the size of the humidifier. Smaller ones will work fine, while bigger units may require additional ventilation.<\/p><h3>Q: Will a humidifier keep me healthy?<\/h3><p>A: In general, sleeping in a properly-humidified room is important to maintain your health, according to The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3457514\/\">National Institute of Health<\/a>.<\/p><h3>Q: Why does my hair smell after I&#8217;ve used a humidifier?<\/h3><p>A:\u00a0 Water vapor traps and spreads odor-carrying particles in the air.\u00a0 So the more humidity you add, the more chance of odors in the air.\u00a0 To address this issue, you&#8217;ll need to address the source of the odor.<\/p><h3>Q: How do I know if I need a humidifier?<\/h3><p>A: If you&#8217;re living in a dry climate, you may wake up feeling tired and dehydrated.\u00a0 Dry eyes in the morning, flaky skin, and raspy coughs are other signs your room&#8217;s air may be too dry.\u00a0 A humidifier will resolve many of these issues.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you noticed that your house&#8217;s air is too dry or smells musty or dusty?
