Where to put a humidifier in a room: choosing the best place for the device + expert advice

The benefits of air humidification

It is recommended to control the humidity level and, if necessary, increase it in order to:

Prevent serious diseases

This is not an exaggeration: adequately humidified air optimizes heat transfer processes in the human body

This is extremely important for children and adolescents - their growing organisms produce impressive amounts of heat through the lungs.

Because in a dream, the body of a child in such negative conditions will begin to lose an excessive amount of moisture.

If the baby regularly rests in a room with “overdried” and stagnant air, the result will be a thickening of the blood and a deterioration in the functioning of internal organs. Because in a dream, the body of a child in such negative conditions will begin to lose an excessive amount of moisture.

The humidity of the microclimate is also directly related to the risk of catching airborne diseases and the peculiarities of their course:

• Cough, shortness of breath, stuffy nose and other manifestations associated with respiratory pathologies at an air humidity of 40-60% are alleviated;
• In well-moistened air, any viruses die faster.

Another important point: the condition of the mucous membranes. With insufficient air humidity, cracks and crusts appear on the drying shells. The natural processes of neutralizing harmful microorganisms that enter our body through the nose and mouth are disrupted. It becomes difficult to breathe.

In extreme cases, the blockage of the normal activity of the mucous membranes and problems with free breathing turn into bronchitis, otitis media, asthma and other extremely serious diseases. Children with poor health may develop dysbacteriosis and kidney failure.

Create favorable conditions for work and leisure

It is simply impossible to concentrate or, on the contrary, fully relax in an unventilated and hot room with air humidity less than 20%.

Try to create a favorable microenvironment - and work and rest will become much easier.

Prevent premature aging and dehydration of the skin

Dry air negatively affects the condition of nails, hair, and skin. With a good level of humidity, the likelihood of rashes and skin irritation on the body and face, the formation of wrinkles is reduced.

Important: insufficient moisture in the microclimate is a proven cause of accelerated loss of moisture by the epidermis, impaired skin barrier functions, and inflammation.

What happens if the air is too humid? At an indicator of 70% or more, the sebaceous glands will begin to produce more fat. However, the level of moisture in the skin will not increase from this - in order to return the amount of lipids to normal, it will be enough just to wash.

Create a favorable microclimate for plants

Houseplants, just like people, need an optimally humid microclimate. The degree of air humidity affects the condition of the stems and leaves of plantings, the rate of seed germination and flowering.

Save trim and interior

Dry air shortens the period of work and impairs the appearance of furniture (made of natural fabrics, wood, natural stone), decorative items and household appliances. Wooden interior items are especially affected by it - they dry out and crack. The parquet boards are peeling off.

Fans of painting should be extremely careful - in a dry microenvironment, the paint will begin to move away from the canvas. As well as the owners of pianos, violins, guitars and other musical instruments - they will have to be tuned more often.

The most unsuitable areas for installation

And now we will analyze where you do not need to install a humidifier.

Rooms that do not require either permanent or intermittent humidification include the following:

• bathroom;
• toilet;
• combined bathroom;
• the corridor;
• hallway;
• wardrobe.

In the bathroom and toilet, the humidity is always at a high level, so for these rooms it is more important to think over the ventilation system, the same applies to the combined bathroom. The exception is a small decorative ultrasonic device with an aromatherapy function, which is turned on only during bathing or spa treatments.

It can replace scented candles or bath oil

The exception is a small decorative ultrasonic device with an aromatherapy function, which is turned on only during bathing or spa treatments. It can replace scented candles or bath oil

In the dressing room, excess moisture will only cause harm, especially to garments made from natural fabrics and fur.

And in the corridor or hallway, a humidifier will be superfluous, since they already communicate with adjacent rooms.In addition, in cramped spaces, every centimeter of free space is important, so an additional device will do more harm than good.

What is useful humidifier in the apartment

The decrease in humidity may go unnoticed at first, but this does not mean that it is safe for humans. There are at least six factors that negatively affect living organisms. And a moisturizer helps to avoid them.

1. The dryness of the mucous membranes disappears. They are conceived by nature as a protective barrier that traps bacteria and viruses. To perform their functions, the mucous membranes must be hydrated. Otherwise, they become thinner and even crack. This is especially dangerous for the nose and eyes, which in this state become "open gates" for infections.
2. Eye problems are warned. The skin around them is very thin, devoid of sebaceous and sweat glands. Therefore, this area requires special care. It easily gives off moisture, becomes thinner. Dehydrated skin of the eyelids and mucous eyes in conditions of constant stress from working at a computer, watching TV, etc. easily inflamed. There are various conjunctivitis.
3. The amount of flying dust is reduced. Dust particles are very light, they are able to rise up. In addition, they easily absorb water from air masses, become heavy, and settle to the surface. If there is little moisture, they continue to fly. This provokes asthma attacks or bronchospasms in allergy sufferers and asthmatics, as well as in those who still feel healthy.
4. Improves the condition of hair, skin, nails. Moisture constantly evaporates from the surface of the hair. Dry air greatly speeds up this process. Replenishing the balance at the expense of internal resources does not give the desired result.
5. Sleep problems are eliminated. Uncomfortable conditions affect the duration and strength of sleep. Lack of sleep leads to decreased performance, depression. It is best to have a humidifier in the bedroom complete with an ionizer. The latter generates negatively charged particles that effectively hold water molecules.
6. Plants begin to develop better. Home flowers stop blooming, the number of new shoots decreases, the leaves appear smaller, their tips dry. Plants get sick and die. The amount of oxygen produced by them is significantly reduced, which adversely affects the microclimate of the room.

Now I understand why you need a humidifier. Increasing the content of water vapor in the air mixture improves the situation with all the factors described. In addition, the risk of exacerbation of chronic diseases is reduced, and the general condition improves.

Benefits of a humidifier

Moist air is better for the respiratory system

Humid air helps the human body function better. If there is fresh air in the room, a person falls asleep better and fatigue disappears faster. It also has a beneficial effect on the skin, reducing its dryness. Moist respiratory mucosa minimizes the risk of viral infections.

Sufficient moisture levels are also beneficial for plants. Lack of moisture leads to wilting and deterioration of the appearance of flowers.

To eliminate anxiety, speed up falling asleep and reduce headaches, you can take a model with aromatherapy. It is enough to drop a few drops of oil into a tank of water, and a pleasant aroma will fill the whole room.

Traditional household humidifiers

The principle of operation is the passage of air, with the help of a fan, through a wet filter. The condition for efficient operation is a constantly moistened filter, for which water is poured into a special tank.

Advantages:

• does not produce steam, so as much moisture enters the air as necessary at a set temperature;
• purified water is not required;
• does not form a white "mineral" coating on furniture;
• can handle rooms up to 50 sq.m;
• safe in operation;
• power is consumed only for the operation of the fan, which operates when there is water in the tank.

Flaws:

• poor performance;
• high noise level;
• limiting humidity "injected" by the device - 60%;
• filter needs to be changed periodically.

Use of humidifiers

To maintain a comfortable environment in the house, you can use a household humidifier. Modern technologies significantly improve the quality of human life. Thanks to them, high-quality and functional equipment that can improve all spheres of people's life comes to the market. For example, a modern humidifier is indispensable both in the heat and in the cold period, spraying moisture vapor to humidify the air. Another indisputable advantage is its compactness and small size, it takes up little space even in a small apartment with a shortage of free space. Simplicity and ease of use are also important advantages.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, namely:

• additional electricity consumption can hit the wallet of a low-income consumer;
• modern models of well-known brands last much longer, but their price is more expensive;
• the characteristic noise that accompanies the operation of the device causes discomfort.

Manufacturers offer many models. It can be simply humidifiers, climatic complexes and humidifiers-purifiers or so-called air washers. They are steam, ultrasonic and traditional. The most in demand among consumers are the easiest to use and economical ultrasonic humidifiers or "fog generators". The main advantages are fast fogging, noiselessness, no droplet loss, reduce the temperature of the atmosphere by 5 degrees, simple water treatment, automatically maintain humidity up to 95%.

A number of criteria will help determine the choice of a suitable device. The main indicators are the humidification rate, the filtration system, the service area and the power level, and they are different for everyone.

First of all, you should pay attention to them. What else may be of interest to a potential consumer is the capacity of the water tank, the noise level and additional functionality.

It is no secret that for most buyers, the choice of products from a well-known manufacturer is essential. High-quality models of well-known brands, in addition to the main functions - moisturizing and cleaning, perform various other tasks. For example, they additionally aromatize and ionize the air, provide a quiet night mode of operation, are equipped with a display and convenient touch or remote control, connection to the water supply.

They determine the rate of air humidification. The cost of each device directly depends on its functionality. You can always find a suitable option in any price range.Consumers are satisfied with the price of budget options for most Polaris, Vitek and Ballu models. The cost of Bork models, which have several convenient operating modes, is much higher than budget models.

What level of humidity should be in a country house?

There is a lot of controversy on this issue, but basically everyone converges on the same range: 45-55%. So if your house is located in the suburbs, you most likely will not need a humidifier. With one but: if your house is equipped with a normal ventilation and heating system.

What is meant by a normal system? Well, firstly, ventilation ducts must be equipped, through which air will naturally circulate between rooms and floors. If your house is built from "non-breathing" materials (eg SIP panels), then it must be equipped with a supply and exhaust ventilation system.

As for heating: here we mean the type of batteries. Obviously, electric radiators dry the air more than other types of batteries. And if you turn them all on at full power, the air in the house will become very dry.

How long to turn on the steam humidifier

Another representative of humidifiers is steam. Its name speaks for itself. Water is heated by heating elements or electrodes and, turning into steam, breaks out. In comparison with an ultrasonic device, as a result of the operation of the device, there is no plaque on the furniture. But during its "processing", which is not controlled, condensation may occur and the humidity will exceed the required values. How long can such a device work? Again, it depends on the temperature in the room and how quickly the air is saturated with moisture.

Simple classic hot steam humidifier model

If we talk about general indicators, then humidifiers can work constantly under the following conditions:

• very dry air in the apartment;
• frequently ventilated rooms (nurseries, bedrooms);
• there are moisture-loving plants in the room;
• low device performance.

It is not advisable to leave the humidifier on overnight. Even if it does not have a “humming” fan, the rare gurgling of water in silence is not a very pleasant “accompaniment” of a night's rest. How long a humidifier should work, firstly, depends on its type, secondly, on the size and purpose of the room, and thirdly, on the level of humidity. Also, different models have their own power, which determines the approximate operating time.

Rules for choosing a place for a humidifier

You can get the maximum benefit from the device if the rules for its operation are observed. The most important thing is to find a suitable place for the humidifier.

When determining where to put the device, several nuances should be taken into account. In this case, it will be possible to find a place suitable for the normal operation of the mechanism and safe for humans.

We observe the required height from the floor

When using the device, it is important to achieve uniform air humidification in different parts of the room. This will not work if you put the device on the floor

Experts have determined the optimal height standards for the location of the mechanism:

• the lower level of height is 0.5 m from the floor;
• the upper level of height is 1 m from the floor.

Selecting the surface on which the humidifier will be installed

The mechanism must be installed on a flat, straight and stable surface.

You also need to make sure that the surface is not tilted in any direction.Otherwise, the activated mechanism may roll down or topple over.

We monitor the distribution of steam throughout the room

Performing the main task, the humidifier releases a jet of cold or hot steam during operation. She can leave marks on things. Therefore, during installation, it is necessary to deploy the mechanism so that the environment does not suffer from steam.

Avoid direct contact with steam:

• books on open shelves;
• household and computer equipment;
• houseplants.

Is it possible to put a humidifier next to a radiator

Heating appliances, heating the room, at the same time dry the air in it. The purpose of humidifiers is to make dry air more humid. The lowest air humidity in the room is observed in radiators. Therefore, it is advisable to place the device near the batteries.

At the same time, too close proximity to the heating device is not recommended. With this arrangement, the steam, like all the air near the battery, will be immediately dried. Because of this, moist steam will not be sprayed around the room, and the air will not become more humid.

Advantages and disadvantages

For the convenience of perceiving information and facilitating the answer to the question of which air humidifier is better, the advantages and disadvantages of the presented types are shown in the table.

Humidity value

Humidity in the house must be monitored

Moisture in the apartment is constantly "destroyed" by heating devices, a refrigerator compressor, air conditioning, a stove, computer and other household appliances. What is a man? Such air dehydrates the body, dries out the skin, causes allergic reactions, dry cough, respiratory and more serious diseases. In addition, dust does not settle in dry air, but hovers with viruses, bacteria - for them this is a favorable environment for reproduction.

Many believe that if you carry out constant ventilation, then the air in the apartment will acquire the required composition. Yes, ventilation is a partial change of stagnant air to clean, but with humidity it is more difficult. In winter, cold masses, getting into a warm house, expand, and their humidity decreases several times. Therefore, there are no significant changes. Efficiency of ventilation, in order to increase humidity, is possible only in case of a higher temperature outside than in the apartment.

Optimum humidity is the right combination of relative humidity and temperature. So, the lower the temperature, the higher the relative humidity. The most comfortable indicators for a person are: humidity 62-55% at a temperature of 19-21°C. Another indicator is taken into account - the speed of air masses, which is 0.1 (maximum - 0.2) m / s. Unfortunately, the humidity in our apartments barely reaches 25%, and in the winter months, when the heaters are on, it drops to 15%.

But it was during this period that an outbreak of respiratory and pulmonological diseases, therefore it is important to increase it

Humidifiers: principle and operating time

Many city dwellers began to seriously think about what kind of air they breathe, whether it is humidified enough. Some, knowing about the problem, try to eliminate it using old-fashioned methods - laying wet towels on radiators or even drying clothes in the room. But in order to “adjust” the microclimate in this way, it is necessary to control both the humidity itself and the temperature in the room.

The humidifier should be not only effective, but also decoratively attractive.

If it is precisely determined (using a hygrometer or a glass of water) that the humidity in the room is really low, you can choose a humidifier. They are divided into two types: passive and electrical. Passive are containers that are hung or installed on top of the radiator. As it heats up, the water begins to evaporate. But such devices "work" only during the heating season, and they are not able to fully provide the necessary humidity in the room. They are used if the humidity is slightly below 40% and it needs to be “corrected” a little.

Electrical appliances that provide humidity in the room are divided into the following types:

• classical;
• ultrasonic;
• steam.

The hygrometer and the instruction manual for the device will “tell” the owners about how long the humidifier should work.

Manufacturers overview

The stores offer a wide range of humidifiers. However, only 5 models have earned the trust of parents.

GX. diffuser

First of all, this is a compact GX ionizer. Diffuser that can be placed in any corner of the nursery. It features quiet operation and easy operation. If desired, essential oils can be added to the ionizer.The device is equipped with a timer and built-in backlight. When the water has completely evaporated, the ionizer turns off automatically. Its only drawback is the loose fit of the body to the water tank.

SALAV

Humidifier SALAV has a stylish design, and therefore will become not only a household appliance, but also an organic addition to the interior. It is equipped with two steam outlets and seven backlight colors. Built-in ultrasonic sterilization kills harmful bacteria. Thanks to the large tank, this humidifier can work more than 10 hours non-stop. The disadvantage of SALAV is the absence of a timer.

VITEK VT-2351

Humidifier VITEK VT-2351 allows you not only to adjust the intensity of humidification, but also to humidify the air in a certain area of ​​the room. In addition, parents have the ability to adjust the steam rate. The unit has a flat top, so it is convenient to pour water into it. This humidifier is equipped with a large tank, which is enough for one or more nights in a row. VITEK VT-2351 does not interfere with sleep. At the same time, it does not have a timer, and it is not very convenient to wash it.

BALLU UHB-805

BALLU UHB-805 is equipped with a cartridge that purifies water from harmful impurities, and air from coarse dust. This appliance works up to 12 hours, spraying steam 360 degrees and making no noise. It has a built-in water indicator, so the user will always know when to recharge the humidifier.

Galaxy GL8004

The Galaxy GL 8004 is also silent and consumes little power. It has no timer, no remote control either. But it automatically maintains the set humidity level. When the water evaporates, the red indicator on the body lights up and the device automatically turns off.Water is poured into a removable bowl, which is easy to remove and put back in place.

Reasons for the need for a humidifier

In autumn, when the air temperature drops below 8 degrees in the houses, they turn on heating with centralized heat supply. Heat energy suppliers are not interested in adjusting the temperature of the heat carrier in accordance with the outside air temperature.

Often, all autumn and winter, heat is served to the maximum. As a result, the air in the apartments becomes absolutely dry, the relative humidity drops to 10-15% percent. Asking the question why the apartment needs a humidifier during this period becomes completely redundant. The facts are in favor of its acquisition and installation.

Dry throat and skin

Periodic ventilation through window openings is not enough to maintain standard humidity. This is especially noticeable after waking up in the morning. The mucous membranes of the larynx, which are responsible for supplying moistened air to the lungs, work for wear and require constant replenishment of moisture.

The throat after a night's sleep often dries up so that it is necessary to drink a decent amount of water to bring the mucous membrane back to normal.

The same can be said about human skin tissues. Dry air draws moisture out of the skin, it becomes dry, wrinkled, begins to peel off and exfoliate.

Dry skin is evidence of a lack of moisture in the epidermis, a violation of metabolic processes in the body. A sufficient amount of moisture restores one of the main functions of the skin - protection against the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms.

Summer heat, dust, air conditioning

A decrease in air humidity in apartments is observed not only in autumn and winter, but also in summer.Air conditioners push air back and forth, while taking away a certain percentage of moisture from it.

In recent years, global warming has been observed. Often in the summer for a long time there is a debilitating heat, accompanied by low levels of atmospheric humidity.

Moisture particles in the air wet the dust, it settles down. As a result, the inhabitants of the apartment breathe clean air. Dust particles in dry air are in a state of free floating, which is clearly visible when sunlight hits them. Inhaling such a mixture does not contribute to well-being and health promotion.

House dust can contain dust mites. Their metabolic products cause allergies in people, are the cause of asthma.

Many apartments are decorated with indoor plants and flowers, which in nature live only in tropical, humid and warm climates. In room conditions, they require constant irrigation, but even it cannot create the necessary constant humidity.

Ultimately, ornamental plants die. A caring and thrifty owner will definitely take care of creating an optimal environment for their pets for normal life.

Furniture and wooden structures

Not only living organisms, but also inanimate objects in houses and apartments require life-giving moisture. Window wooden frames in rainy weather absorb moisture and swell, a dry environment dries them, and unevenly. Windows stop closing and opening normally and require repair and adjustment. The same goes for natural wood door panels.

Expensive parquet is designed for operation in certain climatic conditions to maintain its beauty and integrity. With a lack of moisture, the parquet planks will dry out, the parquet will begin to lag behind the base and creak. Wooden furniture, linoleum flooring also react negatively to a decrease in standard air humidity.

Comfortable humidity is vital for a person to maintain his working capacity, well-being and health, good sleep and rest.

Where to put the humidifier in the room

The location of the humidifier depends on the operational features of the room.

It is not always easy to find a place for a humidifier. However, some basic guidelines must be followed. Water is heavier than air, moist air flows down. Therefore, it is better to install the humidifier at a small distance from the floor, on a stool.

The minimum height from the floor should be 50 cm. If the device is small, you can make a wall shelf specifically for it. It is mounted near the outlet, as the humidifier must be plugged into the network. If you put it on the floor, then after a while you can see a puddle around the device.

Do not install a humidifier on a shelf with books

It is important that the jet of steam from the steam humidifier is not directed at upholstered furniture, walls. The distance from them should be 30 cm

For steam appliances, it is necessary to pour only purified water into the reservoir tank.

If the user is a lover of indoor plants, then the device can be installed right next to a green oasis. Although this does not apply to steam humidifiers.In case 2 options disappear, it is more expedient to place it in your own bedroom. It is clear that it is better not to install the appliance in the bathroom and kitchen. There is too much moisture in these rooms. As for the corridors, there is also no point in installing the device. Cool air and artificial lighting, plus humidity will also be added - this can harm the furniture or the wallpaper will move away from the wall.

Proper care

The humidifier care procedure includes several measures, depending on the degree of contamination of the device.

Daily cleaning

Be sure to turn off the device every day and pour out the remaining water, then wash the humidifier with a brush and hot soapy water. This will allow time to clean it from the plaque formed due to the increased hardness of the water. The tank is rinsed with tap water, its subsequent filling should occur only after complete drying. When performing the above actions, care must be taken not to allow the engine and other used working units to be flooded with water.

Deep cleaning

Even with good daily care, deeper cleansing may be needed over time, no matter how often the device is used. Vinegar is used to treat the walls; to reduce the risk of damage to surfaces, you can dilute it with water. The ingrained plaque can be eliminated only in this way. After treatment with vinegar solution, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse the device under running water and leave it to dry completely. The frequency of deep cleaning is once every 2-3 weeks.

Disinfection

Its need arises when you need to clean the device from bacteria.As preparatory measures, the following should be done: open the window and balcony shutters and thoroughly ventilate the room. Next, prepare a solution from half a glass of bleach and 4 liters of water. Pour water into the tank and press "on". After a while, steam will begin to be released, at this moment we turn off the device and wait 3-5 minutes, after which we release the container from water. We rinse the container with fresh water, and refill it, turn on the device for 5-7 minutes.

The number of repeated cycles depends on how soon the smell of bleach disappears. If the instructions indicate that it is undesirable to use bleach as a disinfectant, then hydrogen peroxide is poured instead.

Can you wash the air?

Yes, you can, for this they came up with an air washer, and the name of the device is not for the sake of beauty.

“If the humidifier performs only its direct function - it humidifies the air in the room, then washing the air also cleans it, so such a device is considered more functional and efficient,” says Yury Leshchenko, director of the Rusclimat sales department. - This device works on the principle of natural humidification, which means that it cannot raise the humidity of the air to 80-90%, as, for example, an ultrasonic device. The sink can work constantly, only you need to remember to add water once a day, and at night it can be switched to a quieter mode.

The disadvantages of air washing are the high price and dimensions: you cannot put the device on the table at work, it takes up more space than a humidifier, and the price of quality sinks starts from 10-15 thousand rubles.

The advantage of air washing is that, having bought it, you will no longer have to spend money on consumables, filters, it is not sensitive to water quality, it is easy to use.

The principle of operation of the device is as follows: a moisturizing element rotates inside the sink - a drum consisting of many plastic discs or covered with a special sponge. The drum is constantly wetted with water, and the fan supplies air to it, which sucks in from the room. As a result, all the dust, hair, animal hair that is in the air stick to the humidifier and are washed off with water, and the purified and humidified air enters the room again. Therefore, if the house is dusty, the water in the sink will become dirty after a few hours of operation.

When choosing an air washer, it is important to pay attention to its performance. Excellent performance - if it gives out half a liter of water per hour into the air. If this figure is significantly lower, the efficiency of such a wash will be low.

If this figure is significantly lower, the efficiency of such a wash will be low.

As a rule, sinks can operate in two modes - quiet night and day, but some models have four speeds and are equipped with a hygrometer.

It is very important to listen to how the air washer works before buying, advises Yuri Leshchenko. – Rotating elements in the sink still create a certain level of noise

Yes, they have a night mode, but we are all different, for some, even this sound will interfere with sleep.

- Rotating elements in the sink still create a certain level of noise. Yes, they have a night mode, but we are all different, for some, even this sound will interfere with sleep.

It is not difficult to take care of the air washer: you need to rinse the water tray every two or three days and wash the fan blades and the dampening element from dirt every couple of months - if it is made of sponge, it can be washed in a washing machine, if it is made of plastic - in a dishwasher car. Humidification discs can be descaled with a solution of citric acid or special chemicals for such devices.

It is also important to regularly ventilate the room in which the equipment works.

Conclusions and useful video on the topic
