Humidity in the home affects human health and well-being.
In this article, we will tell you how to maintain humidity without special equipment.
Signs of dry indoor air
Low humidity can cause a sore throat, dry lips (to the point where they begin to crack and bleed), and nasal congestion - which occurs due to dry mucous membranes.
The skin on the face and hands peels off, loses elasticity, becomes drier, cracks and hangnails appear on the hands.
How to increase air humidity levels
The easiest way to humidify the air at home is to take a spray bottle and spray water in the room or place a container of water in front of the fan.
You can also place a pan or a slightly open kettle with boiling water in the room.
You can simply open the window for a few minutes or, in cold weather, turn on the air recuperator with the function of exchanging heat and moisture.
The concentration of water vapor in the air can be increased by using an aquarium, from the water surface of which moisture is constantly evaporating.
You can also dry wet things in the room.
Hang wet towels on radiators. If you don’t have freshly washed clothes, then a regular wet towel will save you.
Wet it generously with water and hang the hot batteries.
