Humidifiers

The ideal humidity level in a room is between 40 and 60% but with modern sealed windows and doors and central heating this can sink as low as 20 - 30% especially in the winter months. This can cause dry and itchy skin, sore throat, coughing, respiratory problems and general discomfort. Dryness also causes furniture to dry out and crack. A cool mist humidifier is ideal to add moisture to the air soothing respiratory dryness, reducing static and offering a healthy atmosphere for furniture and wood floors.

During the winter we often succumb to colds and ‘flu. A warm mist humidifier is invaluable for relieving symptoms associated with colds and respiratory problems and croup in young children.
