10 Surprising Ways You Are Accidentally Poisoning Your Home

#10 – Dirty Humidifiers

People that live in dry areas tend to have humidifiers to balance humidity levels inside the house and keep an overall more comfortable and healthier environment.

However, humidifiers demand to be cleaned regularly, as they can get crusty and moldy over time, and then disperse spores into the air. This could produce the opposite effect, as mold can lead to respiratory problems. For an ideal cleanup, make sure to read the user’s manual and proceed accordingly.
