Frequently asked questions

To help you shop for a new humidifier, we answer some of the most commonly asked questions shoppers have when trying to pick a humidifier. 

What size humidifier do I need for my room?

Most humidifiers specify the room size they’re intended for. Smaller humidifiers are best for smaller rooms under 300 square feet, while large models can cover whole rooms and sometimes even whole homes. 

Should I use a cool mist or a warm mist humidifier?

Cool mist humidifiers are more ideal for children and pets since there’s no hot water involved. Warm mist humidifiers boil water to create steam, which is more comforting during cold and flu seasons. Some models allow you to choose between either cool or warm mist or a mix of both. 

How often do I need to clean a humidifier?

It’s best to rinse out your humidifier each time the water runs out. Give it a deep clean every week or so with hot soapy water to remove any mold or mineral buildup.
