10 0|0|How to get more moisture in your house without a humidifier?|pumamomma|pumamomma@yahoo.com|22:48:39|01/04/2010|
Would like to know. The science teacher at school said static-ness is due to lack of moisture. We bathe/shower & don't run the fan so the moisture stays in house. What other ways are there? PLMK. TIA

I am right now boiling a pan of water on stove and have set up 2 ice cream buckets of water out to vaporize. Will see if that helps.

3|1|A warm mist vaporizer......|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|23:04:47|01/04/2010|
I bought a Vick's warm mist/steam vaporizer last year as it serves a 2-in-1 purpose - adds humidity in here during the cold, dry winter months but then I also have it for times of a cold or cough congestion if needed. If you have a bathroom exhaust fan tho, I recommend using it while showering/bathing to keep the moisture to a minimum in the bathroom so you don't run the risk of all that moisture being concentrated in that 1 area & possibly causing mold or damage to the drywalling.
I believe humidity levels inside should be right around 50-55%, & you want that good level as it helps reduce flu/viral bugs which are more common in winter due to dry, stuffy/stagnant air & being inside more w/out fresh air. Also helps reduce the evil "snappers". LOL
The humidity level in here stays right around 50%, give or take a couple. Just make sure to use fresh, clean water each time & periodically give the vaporizer container a good cleaning out w/bleach water to help keep any mold development at bay.
HTH. :)

Sounds weird but it works.
Fill an old metal coffee can about 1/2 full with water. Roll up some newspaper (no ads) and put it in the water. Set the coffee can next to heat register so the warm air blows over the papers. Really works! Refill the water/ change paper often.
I also air dry my laundry inside. 9|3|I prefer the warm mist as the cool mist makes the air feel cold in the house. Don't want that in winter. |maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|08:44:45|01/05/2010|

Get moisture from your clothes dryer....
Disconnect the hose that sends the dryer air outside. Place cardboard or something else to block the cold air from comming in through the disconnected pipe. Now "recycle" those old pantihose or knee highs and place one over the dryer pipe to catch the lint, secure it with a rubberband so it won't "blow" off. When you dry clothes the warm moist air will enter the house. You will need to clean the "pantihose" lint every so often so it flows freely. Re-attach at then end of the winter season so the air for the warmer months goes back outside.

10|3|If you have floor vents, fill an old coffee tin or another old tin with water and place them over the vent, if you have more than one, use it on several, dont completely cover the vents tho, its what we did growing up and what I am doing now. |jen_ron|bugsmamma@earthlink.net|17:02:12|01/06/2010|
