Keeping your home toasty and warm can be comfortable, especially when the temperatures start to drop. However, when
you turn the heat on in your home, the air can dry out. Dry air can irritate your sinuses, skin and make the
environment uncomfortable. 

To combat this, consider some of the many ways you can increase the humidity in your home.

Boil water

Searching for a quick and cheap way to humidify your home? Boiling water on the stove is a great temporary fix! The
boiling water evaporates into the area, leaving the space humidified. 

Please note, only boil water while you’re home to supervise the process. This way, the pan doesn’t scorch once the
water runs low. Consider leaving a timer on, so you can turn off the stove before the water boils out. 

Keep the bathroom door open 

Showering produces a good deal of steam into the air. Leaving the door of your bathroom open during or after your
shower is a great way to put this steam to use. Allowing the steam to escape into other parts of the house also
helps you avoid moisture issues in the bathroom.

Consider buying an essential oil diffuser 

Essential oil diffusers are a cost-efficient way to humidify your home. As they disperse fragrant scents into the
air, the mist they produce also helps to raise the humidity level.

Keeping your home humidified can help to alleviate skin irritation and congestion in colder months. Using these
affordable methods is a great way to make sure the air in your home doesn’t become too dry for comfort.
