The heating season often presents challenges related to dry air. It can cause discomfort and health problems, such as nasal irritation or breathing issues.

Wet towel on the radiator - A homemade air humidifier

One of the simplest ways to increase humidity in your home is to hang a wet towel on the radiator. This easy trick immediately improves air quality. Just soak the towel in warm water, wring it out well, and hang it on the radiator.

Another effective method is to place a drying rack with damp laundry near the heat source. As the laundry dries, moisture from the clothes evaporates into the air, increasing humidity.

Bowls of hot water and essential oil are another option. The evaporating water combined with your favorite essential oil scent not only humidifies but also refreshes the air.

Not just towels, consider plants

Potted plants not only beautify your interior but also naturally humidify the air. Highly recommended plants include peace lilies, aloe, and dracaena, effectively increasing humidity levels.

Home methods for increasing air humidity are simple but also effective and inexpensive. By choosing the right method, you can easily ensure the comfort and health of household members without needing to invest in expensive humidifiers.
