Humidifiers Bad for Lungs? 💦

Though they are beneficial for adding moisture to dry indoor air, humidifiers can also disperse harmful microorganisms or minerals into the air if they are not properly maintained.

Breathing in this mist can lead to respiratory infections or lung inflammation.

It’s vital to clean humidifiers regularly, use distilled or demineralized water, and ensure they’re set to the right humidity level (usually between 30% and 50%) to prevent mold growth and over-humidifying.

I’ve wondered about this. What should I be cleaning it with? And is once a week enough, or does it need to be daily? Thank you for all you do! You are appreciated. Sending love and prayers from Canada 🙏🏼🇨🇦
