Do you ever find the air in your home is too dry? Humidity is very important for your health especially if you have respiratory problems. It’s even been noted that dry air in the home can make you more susceptible to catching the flu or a bad cold. So it’s important to know what humidity level is helpful in your home.

Humidity levels should be around 30 or 40% in your home during the winter season, and upwards of 50% during the summer time. If you have hardwood floors they will also benefit from having a consistent humidity level throughout the year, since boards can swell and constrict as the humidity changes.

But you aren’t stuck with having to purchase a humidifier because we’ve collected some great alternative methods to increase the humidity in your home without one. Check out these tips on how to increase the humidity in your home – they are easy and anyone can do them.

1. Open the dishwasher after last rinse and allow dishes to air dry:
