Babies have sensitive skin that easily becomes dry and irritated, especially during the cold months. When temperatures drop, and you run your furnace more often, your indoor air may lose moisture, causing your child some discomfort. Below, duct cleaning professionals explain why you should invest in a whole home humidifier if you have small kids. 

What Humidifiers Do 

Humidifiers detect dryness in your indoor air and add moisture to it. There are a couple of different types of humidifiers, including warm and cool versions. Warm mist humidifiers have the potential to kill viruses and germs while making it easier for your kids to breathe in your home.

Cool mist humidifiers release room temperature moisture and are generally safer for homes with children since they do not have a heating element. 

Why Infants Need Them  

When you run your heater during the winter season, it will displace some of the moisture in your home, causing the air to become dry. 

Babies are especially susceptible to dry skin, sore throats, sinus inflammation, and congestion; dry indoor air only makes these issues more likely. Humidifiers will moisturize the skin, soothe the sinuses, and break down mucus to ease congestion. 

The Benefits of Whole Home Models 

Whole home humidifiers differ from portable models in a variety of important ways. Whole home humidifiers evenly add moisture to all of your home spaces, rather than spot treating specific areas.

They remain out of sight in your HVAC closet or basement and make almost no noise. Hire a duct cleaning company to sanitize them about once per month to prevent mold and mildew buildup.
