Part of the thrill of becoming a parent for the first time is the preparation of the baby’s room.  That’s when new dads, no matter how ham fisted, are expected to master gloss and emulsion painting  and the art of wallpapering by trying to match up patterns of cartoon characters without consuming  half the roll ... continue reading "Getting the Right Humidifier For The Nursery"

We don’t all have green fingers.  Whatever the opposite of that is, many of us have it in spades!

Cold and flu season has arrived and it’s been well established that running a humidifier in your home can help relieve congestion and soothe a sore throat.  A humidifier can be particularly beneficial for children with colds and snuffles as their smaller nostrils get stuffed up more easily.

Most weather men are suggesting that this year has been one of the coldest so far and it’s set to remain that way for a while.   Temperatures are low enough to begin with, but add a wind chill factor to that and the results on your skin can be pretty bad.  You don’t have to ... continue reading "Humidifiers Protect Skin in Cold Weather"

The ability to control electricity with your mind may seem the stuff of science fiction, but Debbie Wolf, who hails from Telscombe Cliffs, near Brighton, says she is one of Britain’s growing number of “SLIders” – people who believe their presence interferes with household appliances, radios and light bulbs. She claims she can bust light ... continue reading "Could Humidifiers be the Key to Stopping Real Life Magnetos?"

A Mistifier Plus humidifier was used to spray one part Hendrick’s Gin to three parts tonic water into a room decorated like the inside ... continue reading "Alcohol Humidifier – please breathe responsibly"

Have purchased this humidifier after a long research over the internet. It is bit expensive, but I would say it’s perfect. Works so long without needing to refill, switched on and off automatically. Heats the mist, though you can’t really tell the difference between heated and not heated. My 1.5 year old son as able ... continue reading "Review of 7144 Warm/Cool Mist Humidifier by R. Mizaraite"

Anyone who skis will recognise this – loads of fun during the day; loads of fun après ski; chalet bedroom too dry in the evening.

The unit is bubbling away, at intervals, in a most comforting way, and all appears to be working splendidly. It is protecting quite few few thousand pounds worth of acoustic guitars from what, for them (and me), can be the disastrous effects of low humidity (cracking of thin wood being the worst of them) resulting ... continue reading "Review of Boneco Humidifier by Roger Ellis"

This Air-O-Swiss humidifier works on evaporation, so the power consumption is about 15% of the warm mist variety. Also you don’t have the bacterial risks of the ultrasonic and cool mist impeller variety. Another item I consider similar is the Graco Programmable Cool Mist Humidifier. In comparison this Air-O-Swiss humidifier features wide availability in the ... continue reading "Review of 2251 Home Humidifier by G. Teabo"

By being in an atmosphere with a high humidity, the severe coughing that comes with croup can be relieved. A high humidity can be created by standing in a bathroom with the hot taps or shower running, by simply going outside as the air is often wetter outside than in, or by adding water to the air with a humidifier. This is ... continue reading "Croup & humidifiers"
