We increase the humidity in the room

In order to increase the humidity level in the apartment, it is necessary to evaporate a certain amount of water. On the Internet, you can find several optimal solutions to the problem of dry air without costs and special efforts.

Consider the most popular ways:

1. Hang a wet towel on a hot battery. Once it has dried, repeat the procedure. This method has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include minimal costs, since electricity is not used. The disadvantages of this method include low efficiency and constant monitoring. In addition, the air is humidified only near the battery.
2. Place water containers around the entire perimeter of the apartment. Over time, the liquid will evaporate, and the moisture level will slowly normalize.
3. Arrange plants in the room that have the function of moisturizing the air - orchids, hibiscus, dracaena.
4. Wet clean regularly or dry your laundry in the room.
5. Get an aquarium with fish. Due to the constant filtration of water in the aquarium, moisture will evaporate.
6. Buy a room fountain. Do not forget to pour water into it regularly.

Important! The first method can be a little complicated. One end of the towel should be placed in a basin with water, and the other put on a warm battery. As a result, you don’t have to constantly wet the towel, as it will be moistened by containers with liquid.

How to make an air optimizer at home?

Do-it-yourself humidifier can be made from a plastic bottle. This is one of the easiest ways to make an optimizer at home. Consider the two most popular ways to create such an aggregate.

Method 1

For the first option, you will need the following materials:

• Bottle made of plastic.
• Gauze.
• A wire or durable piece of fabric.

We begin to manufacture:

1. On the side of the bottle you need to make a cut of 12 centimeters long.
2. We suspend the bottle with the wire to the battery so that the cut is at the top (you need to suspend it to pipes that are closer to the ceiling).
3. Pour liquid into the bottle.
4. Wrap one edge of gauze around the pipe, and lower the other into a bottle.

Important! Plastic bottles are generally an inexhaustible source of various ideas. Home craftsmen and craftsmen apply them everywhere, creating many practical household items with minimal investment. We shared some ideas with you in a separate article. "Crafts from plastic bottles".

Method 2

For the second manufacturing option, the optimizer will need:

• Bottle made of plastic.
• Fan from any equipment.

We begin to create:

1. Cut the neck of the bottle so that you can easily screw in the fan.
2. Make several holes on all sides of the bottle.
3. Pour water into the container so that it does not leak out of the holes.
4. Fix the fan with tape and connect to the network.

Important! Such a humidifier is very effective in combating the problem of dry air, as a powerful air stream evenly distributes moisture throughout the room due to a powerful fan.
