Moisture has a lot to do with the quality of your skin and the Vicks Humidifier can help you with these problems. One thing you must remember is that properly humidified body has a lot better outside. But also, you should know that the inside is what really matters. Our respiratory systems are designed to operate in a humidified environment. If the air inside your home is dry and you are breathing you are more exposed to scratchy throat symptoms. Basically, that means that your respiratory system is getting dried up. And it makes you more susceptible to cold flue viruses.
Properly humidified air is just as important for a respiratory system as an air cleaner is. 40 to 45 percent relative humidity is about the right range. One of their products is the Cool Mist Humidifier. It helps keep your house moisturized; remember the whole living environment needs to be moisturized around 40 – 45% to be a healthy environment for the body. It is good for the house, it is good for the body, and basically it is good for everything.
Best of all, with Cool Mist Humidifier you do not have to use any chemicals, just clean fresh tap water. Bacteria are like mosquitoes. They have to attach themselves to something to multiply. And when they attach themselves to any plastic part of this Vicks Humidifier that comes in contact with water they are going to get killed. So, they can not multiply and the cesspool is no longer there. For that reason you do not have to use any chemicals or bacteria eliminators; just clean fresh tap water.
If you want a good unit for your child’s room or your bedroom with antimicrobial protection this one is the best choice. Children catch cold all the time and part of the thing that contributes to that, especially in the winter time, is that we have left the respiratory systems get dry. There are so many aspects of your life that can benefit from a Cool Mist Humidifier and not just your dried skin.
This type of products actually puts moisture on the surface. The real beauty lies in the fact that the moisture seeks drier air, so the moisture from the unit goes out and it fills the surrounding air equally all over the room with moisture. Because of the process you can not over-humidify with this unit. And this is a big deal. Because if you use an Ultrasonic Humidifier, one of those things you can actually see something happening, you can over humidify room which causes mold and fungus. Over-humidified air is not good for you. With an evaporative humidification the air will only hold so much moisture and when it gets full the process stops. The unit continues to run but the process stops, so you do not have sweaty windows, rotten windows, and you do not have mold on the floors.
Overall, with this product you use clean fresh tap water; no cesspool at the bottom because of the antimicrobial protection, paper wick needs to be replaced once a year. I strongly recommend it.
