1. Can humidifiers cause mold growth?
Yes, if not cleaned weekly. Use distilled water and maintain <50% humidity to prevent spores.
2. How often should I refill my humidifier?
6L models need daily refills; 11L+ units last 3-4 days. Check your room size vs capacity.
3. Do I need warm or cool mist?
Warm mist (like Dreo HM713) kills germs better; cool mist (LEVOIT) is safer for kids. Compare pros here.
4. Can I use tap water?
Hard water causes mineral buildup. Use filtered or demineralized to extend cartridge life.
5. Where should I place my humidifier?
Elevated, 2-3 ft from walls. Avoid carpets. See placement guide.
