I used to have this house that was regularly dry to the touch. I like our hands dry so I can keep a tight grip, but this was too dry! Aside from irritating side effects of dry air indoors prefer excess static electricity, I was also having a tough time breathing due to how dry the air itself was indoors. After dealing with this for at least a year, I grew sick of it & wanted to try something current – something that might add some moisture to the air, & make it bearable again. That’s when I l received about using a humidifier! I couldn’t believe that I had been living in the southwest for multiple years now, & still didn’t suppose about these things. A humidifier does just as it sounds, & adds humidity to the air, making it “moist” & easier to breathe. I’m not the only a single who benefits from it either, as everything that’s made of wood in our house is no longer being destruction from the dry air! What I prefer the most about the humidifier though is the ability to control how humid our house is. I used to live in the southeast, where summer time weather was unquestionably sizzling & humid. The last thing I wanted was to recreate that swamp-like environment, so I carefully adjusted the humidity to our house until it was just the right amount. Now the air quality is superb, as I can breathe without getting a sore throat & like non-flaky skin for the first time in years. Why didn’t anyone tell me about these humidifiers when I first moved here?!
