Putting something in the humidifier may cause disease. What can't be put?
A few days ago, it was early autumn, indicating that the hot summer will soon pass, and then we will usher in autumn with suitable climate and cold winter. Compared with the humidity in summer, the dryness in autumn and winter makes us unbearable. Many families will use humidifiers to supplement the humidity. Some people add essential oil or vinegar to the humidifier in order to make the house smell of inquiry or to relax, improve sleep and prevent colds. Many people don't know that adding the wrong items to the humidifier is likely to lead to respiratory diseases.

In fact, adding inappropriate items to the humidifier will not only prevent colds, improve sleep and relax as people think, but will increase the burden on our bodies. Experts say that adding Banlangen and vinegar to the humidifier can't prevent colds. Some essential oils may make people with poor resistance, such as children, allergic. In addition, many online stores are promoting humidifier bactericide, which has no bactericidal effect. If the composition of bactericide is not enough, it may also lead to lung infection in children, the elderly and other people.

In our daily life, it is not necessary to use humidifiers to supplement the humidity in some areas. You can put a basin of clean water at home, drag it with clean water a few times, and hang some wet towels at home, all of which can increase the humidity. Of course, some people think that hanging towels at home will affect the appearance, and you can also use a humidifier. However, it is completely unnecessary to add some essential oils and other items to the humidifier.

If you must use a humidifier to prevent dryness at home, you should pay attention to several points besides not adding things indiscriminately when using the humidifier. First of all, don't use the humidifier for a long time, because it will lead to excessive indoor humidity, but it will be counterproductive. In addition, be sure to clean the humidifier regularly. Don't add water to it without cleaning. After a long time, bacteria will breed in the humidifier.
