Can You Leave a Humidifier Running All Day? Few People Know the Right Answer
It may be hard for some to believe, but you don't have to keep a humidifier on all the time to achieve the optimal humidity level in your room.
In most cases, it is sufficient if the device operates for 2-3 hours.
Why not more? The answer is simple - excess moisture is harmful to humans just as much as its lack.
High humidity in the room promotes the formation of condensation on walls and other surfaces, which promotes the growth of dust mites, bacteria and mold.
These allergens can cause respiratory problems and aggravate asthma and allergies.
Moreover, high humidity damages furniture and other interior items, and the most important problem is, perhaps, the formation of mold colonies.
If mold has started to grow on any surface, removing it, as you can imagine, is extremely difficult.
In severe cases, mold can spread over a large area and being in such areas can pose a health hazard.
Previously, we talked about how to achieve the ideal humidity level without special devices .
