Any Day Now asked:
I have a Graco Cool Mist Humidifier that I have to buy filters for all the time. If I use distilled water, do I still have to use filters? It is so costly and I wasn’t sure if it was even necessary to use them. Appreciate any input, thanks!

Angels Feet asked:
Over the years I have tried multiple models of high end humidifiers (Venta, Honeywell, Vornado) and have followed the cleaning/ filter changing instructions diligently. Within a short while it seems the humidifiers emit a moldy or mildewy smell. I can’t tell exactly what we’re breathing but it’s just not fresh. Is this safe? Is it par for the course and worth the benefit of more humid air in the winter? Now we have a little one and certainly don’t want to be putting pollutants in our home.

I need some humidifiers for my apartment, because it is very dry. I wanted to know what the difference was between the two, and which one is best for this type of issue. Thank you!

This is probably a longshot and I can hopefully find filters at Snow’s but I’ll probably have to go to Benny’s but I want to replace my humidifiers and I need a selection to look through. Anyone know where I can go or is Benny’s in Dennisport my only hope close to the lower cape?

roos asked:
I live in a really dry climate and have really dry skin so I just started using a humidifier in my house. I have heard that they can put mold out in the air if you don’t clean them well enough. What is the best way to clean them? Any other opinions?
