During the heating season, many are faced with the problem of dry air in the apartment, which can lead to headaches and insomnia. In dry air, drying in the nasopharynx occurs, resulting in colds. The easiest way out of this situation is to purchase an air humidifier, but there are alternative methods that everyone can use.
Water tanks
To humidify the air, it is enough to place water containers in the room. It is advisable to choose dishes with large necks. The larger the evaporation area, the better will be the wetting of the room.
You can use an aquarium as a humidifier, and plants in the aquarium will become an additional source of oxygen.
Indoor drying
Drying clothes is a great way to moisturize dry air. You can resort to this method only with dry air, otherwise mold may appear. To moisten the air, just wet the towel and hang it on the battery.
Humidify the air with a simple device made from cans and bandages. Pour water into the jar, put one end of the bandage in water, and release the other onto the battery. The jar can be replaced with a plastic bottle that needs to be attached to the battery.
Humidification with indoor plants
The best “living moisturizers” are plants like fern, phyton, orchid, ficus and hibiscus.
And finally one more piece of advice. Do not forget about the saturation of the room with fresh, street air. Do not forget to air the room. Winter, frosty air does an excellent job of humidifying the room and eliminates bacteria and viruses. Ventilate at least 2-3 times a day.
