Can a humidifier be placed next to the bed?

It is not recommended to place it at the head of the bed, because placing a humidifier at the head of the bed will cause the humidity at the head of the bed to be too high. First, it will cause the bedding to become relatively wet, which is not only uncomfortable, but also easy to breed bacteria on wet sheets and quilts. Moreover, if the water mist is sprayed on the human body, it may cause the skin to be too wet for a long time, causing skin discomfort. In addition, if the water mist particles are too close to the human respiratory tract, if there are bacteria and other microorganisms, they are easily inhaled into the human respiratory tract, and people with poor immunity are prone to respiratory infections, bronchitis, etc.

Can a humidifier be placed under an air conditioner?

What is the appropriate indoor temperature when using a humidifier?

When using a humidifier, the room humidity should be controlled. A healthy humidity environment is 45% to 65%. Under such humidity conditions, the human body feels most comfortable and various germs are not easily spread. Too high humidity can cause discomfort to the human respiratory system and mucous membranes, while too low humidity can cause dry nasal cavity, skin peeling, etc. Therefore, when using a humidifier, if there is no automatic constant temperature function, you can also buy a hygrometer yourself and stop humidification when the humidity reaches the appropriate level.

What should you pay attention to when using a humidifier?

1. Open windows for ventilation: Due to the cold weather in winter, people open windows for ventilation much less frequently than in other seasons. The indoor air is stuffy and hot. If you frequently use a humidifier without opening windows for ventilation, it is easy for mold to grow indoors. People with weak constitutions such as the elderly and children may be affected. Therefore, when using a humidifier, you must remember to open windows for ventilation frequently.

2. Use clean water: Avoid pouring tap water directly into the water tank. The correct way is to boil the water, let it cool down, and then pour it into the water tank. This will not only kill the bacteria in the water, but also evaporate the chlorine. If conditions permit, boil purified water, let it cool down, and then add it for the best effect.

3. Do not use overnight water: Due to the characteristics of the humidifier, the inside of the machine is kept moist for a long time, which is a hotbed for bacteria to grow. Therefore, the humidifier should be cleaned as timely and regularly as possible according to the requirements of the manual.
