What should we pay attention when using a humidifier at home?
1. Clean the humidifier correctly!
The humidifier water tank needs to filled with water all the time during working. If it is not cleaned correctly, the water tank will become a place for bacteria to breed. Microorganisms such as bacteria enter the air with the water mist, which will cause our respiratory diseases. Wrong cleaning refers to adding disinfectants, which is not necessary. Instead, some disinfectants may be left in the water tank. Washing the water tank with clean water and dry it is enough.
2. Do not mess with the humidifier!
Some friends will add perfume, essential oils, toilet water, lemon and other things to the humidifier, because we do not know what we are allergic to. Even if we are not allergic, it may irritate the respiratory tract and lungs. At the same time, these materials may also make the water tank produce garbage and breed bacteria, so add carefully the essential oils.
3. Do not overuse the humidifier!
The air humidity suitable for people survival is 40%-60% RH, if the air humidity is too high, it will be more conductive to the reproduction and growth of bacteria. High humidity will also affect our joints injury, joint pain occurs, so use the humidifier in moderation.
4. Not recommended for patients with respiratory tract-related diseases!
It is not recommended to use a humidifier for patients with respiratory tract-related diseases, because they are relatively sensitive and fragile, better to use the equipment recommended by doctor.
