The Benefits of Using A Humidifier in the Spring

Warmer temperatures are coming. While you might typically think of only needing your humidifier in the winter, here at AIRCARE® HQ we encourage you not to put away your humidifier just yet. A humidifier can still provide plenty of benefits in the spring, especially a dry spring.

1) Helps Alleviate Dry Skin

Low humidity can draw moisture from your skin, causing it to feel tight, itchy, cracked and irritated. Having a humidifier to add moisture back into the air helps to keep your skin from being dehydrated, keeping it soft and smooth. For whole-house humidification, which helps alleviate dry skin, try the award-winning AIRCARE Pedestal.

2) Helps Reduce Allergy Symptoms

Raise your hand if spring leaves you itchy, sniffly and congested. The moisture from a humidifier can help soothe nasal passages and respiratory tracts, reducing irritation and inflammation. When nasal passages are lubricated with moisture, they are better able to filter out allergens. This allows you to breathe easier (and possibly go through less tissues). The AIRCARE Ozark is a great choice with its built-in medicine cup for soothing relief from cough, congestion, sinus and allergy symptoms.

3) Helps Your Furry Friend

Pets can benefit from a humidifier, too! In the same way a humidifier helps humans with dry skin, sneezing and runny noses, it can also help your pet. The added moisture from a humidifier can help relieve pets’ breathing problems. Keep in mind a cool mist humidifier is the safer choice for your pet, as a steam humidifier could burn them if knocked over. Use our AIRCARE Alliance series of humidifiers with our air filter, which traps allergens, like dust, pet dander and mold.

4) Helps Improve Sleep Quality

Dry air can cause your throat and nasal passages to dry out, making for some uncomfortable sleep or restless nights. The moisture from a humidifier can allow you to breathe easier, resulting in a more comfortable night’s sleep. Bonus: it can also help with snoring. The AIRCARE AURORA series allows you to use essential oils, enhancing relaxation to promote more restful sleep.

5)        Benefits Houseplants

Have a beloved indoor plant collection? Proper humidity levels that are similar to their natural environments can help them thrive. Humidifiers can help create the optimal conditions needed for growing plants, alleviating some of the pesky mold and pests that appear in dry conditions. The AIRCARE Space Saver has an adjustable humidistat to let you set your humidity level. With three fan speeds, you can easily find the best humidity level for your plants.

Here’s to a happy, healthy spring with your humidifier.
