We’re in the midst of winter and I’m doing everything I can to keep our family healthy. We’re washing our hands and using antibacterial hand gels, eating healthy and taking our vitamins, striving to get enough exercise and enough sleep, and diligently taking probiotics. We’ve also started using a humidifier in our bedroom after reading about the benefits.
As you know, we’re a family of food and environmental allergies. The only season we find a bit of relief in is the Summer. Because we live in the desert that is Southern California, we don’t get a lot of rain or moisture and often experience dry weather conditions. The lack of humidity can be compounded by the fact that we use central heating in our home. According to some medical experts, low levels of humidity can dry out skin and mucous membranes, making you more susceptible to illness.
I’ve used humidifiers in the past during times of illness, but I often find them difficult to keep clean and free from mildew/mold. There are concerns about using a humidifier with individuals who suffer from asthma and/or allergies because those allergens can potentially be released into the air.
Germ Guardian, a company that offers a variety of home sanitizing products recently introduced their new Ultrasonic Humidifiers, designed with Silver Clean technology to fight the growth of bacteria and mold in the water tank. The company offers six different humidifiers, most of which can provide warm or cool humidification.

We were offered the opportunity to try out the H1500 Ultrasonic 55-Hour Humidifier which features a mold and mildew resistant tank, warm or cool humidification, and a 55 hour run time! The humidifier is very easy to set up and simply requires filling of the tank. Once it’s full, you can opt for warm or cool humidification and vary the spray level. It’s super quiet and has not interrupted my sleep once this week while using it. Our children sleep with us so we don’t need a night light, however, I really like the fact that the unit contains a soft-glow light for use in a child’s room. With a 55 hour run time, it would be difficult to know when it’s time to refill the tank so the unit possesses a low water indicator light which I find helpful.
Many humidifiers on the market require filters or evaporating pads that must be replaced. Germ Guardian’s Ultrasonic Humidifiers do not impose additional costs because there is nothing to replace. Germ Guardian offers a range of humidifiers that can be used in both small and large rooms with varying run times. In addition to acting preventatively, the Ultrasonic Humidifiers can prevent dry skin and chapped lips.
Germ Guardian humidifiers vary in price with smaller units starting at $69.99 to larger units priced at $199.99. For more information or to find a retailer near you, visit Germ Guardian.
