How to make humidifier at home?

You’ve likely been advised to buy a humidifier if congestion is a symptom of your allergies. The humidifier humidifies the air and helps to break down the mucus. Depending on where you live, your congestion may not be as severe in summer when the air isn’t as dry.

Although humidifiers are the best way to combat dry air and congestion in your home, they can also be expensive, especially if you live alone. You might need one right now, but you won’t have the money or time to order one.

Don’t fret! Many DIY hacks can increase humidity in your home, and you often have the supplies to do it yourself.

How to make your home humidify itself?

Turn on the stove

Heat creates water vapor, which adds moisture to the atmosphere. This could be a good option if you spend a lot of time in your kitchen or a nearby room.

Step 1 Add water to a pot or kettle.
Step 2 Heat the mixture on a high-heat burner.
Tip Never leave your stove unattended. After the water has evaporated, make sure you either remove the pot or fill it with hot water.

Your shower is your best friend

To make your room more humid, shower with an open door.

Step 1: Heat your shower to the desired temperature or as hot as your body allows.
Step 2: That’s all!
Tip Close the bathroom windows and turn off fans to prevent steam from entering other rooms.

The chair method

It is easy to replicate the effects of a store-bought humidifier using a plastic/waterproof bathtub, a towel, a fan and a chair for your kitchen.

Step 1 Place the chair next to an electrical outlet to face the wall.
Step 2 Position your tub at the back of your chair
Step 3 Pour water into the tub until it is a few inches full.
Step 4 Towel: Wet the towel but not so much that it is dripping, and then drape it over the chair.
Step 5 Place the fan on the chair so it faces the towel. Turn on the low setting.
Tip: The moisture from towels, can cause damage to the finish, so it’s better to choose an older chair.

Hanger method

If you are looking for something simpler, here’s a similar DIY humidifier.

Step 1 Fill a pot or bowl with water.
Step 2 Insert a wire clothes hanger into the bowl/pot to create an arch.
Step 3 Place a hand towel or damp washcloth over the hanger so that one end touches the water.
Tip: A fan can be used to incorporate the humidifier from the previous DIY, or a desktop fan.
