how to get rid of the Dry Air?

Question

the heat was recently turned on in my apt building and now the air is very very dry. is there anything i can do in my apt to make the air less dry?

Answer 1

You need to humidify the air. You can do it any number of high or low tech ways.

If you can get a humidifier, do so. You may get your landlord's help if you can convince him (these are true statements) that it is better for his cabinetry and wood floors, as well as other architectural elements in the apartment, such as trim and window casings...for the air to be a little more moist. In such a case, he may see fit to provide you one, or reimburse you at least part of a purchase.

If you can't get a humidifier, you can try a table top vaporizer. These are medical units that are supposed to help relieve congestion and dry hacking cough when they are related to dry air. These are cheaper.

You can also just keep water in the bathtub, kitchen sink, etc when not in use. Part of it will evaporate into the air. You can also try leaving relatively clean bathwater in the tub when you are done, draining it next time you bathe, just before you refill it.

On more high humidity days, you can open a window. As long as rain or snow doesn't get in, you should be fine.

You can also simmer a pot of water on the stove, or in the crockpot. Careful to keep it full so it doesn't boil dry. A bonus is that you can add any number of things to scent the air. Try cinnamon and orange peels, or fresh lemons, or lavender flowers.

Some clues that you are having moisture problems? Of course there are other ways to treat these things but you want to increase humidity to really solve the problem:

Shocks from walking around on the carpet...great fun at times, but as a rule, this gets to be a pain fast.

Static in your hair or clothes, long after your hair or laundry is dry.

Nosebleeds.

Congestion or dry cough, or sinus infection, dried stuck boogers in the nose.

Waking up with dry mouth in the morning.

Dry, itchy, or flaking skin or scalp.

Answer 3

I'd suggest getting a humidifier. They can put moisture back into the air fairly easily. Even a vaporizer such as you'd use in the room with someone who is ill can help. I personally prefer a humidifier because it doesn't require heat, and thus doesn't add heat to air that's already warm.
