Radiator is the heating tool we cannot do without in winter, especially in the late winter when the temperature is very low and cold, many families will turn on the heating for a day, but in this way, the room will feel dry, the body, the skin will feel dry, so the winter with the radiator is recommended to use together with humidifier. But if you don’t have a humidifier at home, could a wet towel have the same effect?
Can you put wet towels on the radiator
Placing damp clothes or towels on a radiator can help humidize the air, but only if the clothes and towels are disinfected, otherwise the bacteria on the radiator will evaporate into the air, posing a great health hazard. In addition, the radiator should also be clean and sanitary. If bacteria and dust are deposited on the radiator, it is easy for bacteria to grow or contaminate clothes that have just been cleaned.
However, it should be noted that doing so will have a certain impact on the heat dissipation of the heater, and even hot clothes due to the local overheating of the heater, causing the risk of fire, especially electric heating, so everyone should be vigilant.
Will a wet towel catch fire on the radiator
If the electric heater will have the possibility of fire, it will affect the heat dissipation and lead to local overheating, burn clothes, cause fire. Then the electric radiator because of contact with wet clothes, will be prone to short circuit and cause a fire. So it’s better not to do it, if you have to do it, people must not leave. You can buy or make your own clothes hangers to put on your radiators, thus solving the problem of wetting clothes without damaging the radiators or affecting the heat dissipation.
What if the heating is too dry
1. Drink plenty of water. A dry environment is like a still, causing the water in our bodies to slowly evaporate. At this point, drinking water is more important.
2. Scrub floors or sprinkle water to improve dryness. After getting up clean and dry in the morning, you can mop the floor, or directly use a small water bottle to spray the right amount of water in the living room, about once an hour, indoor drying can be well improved.
3. Place a basin of water in the corner of the room, kitchen, etc., to reduce the evaporation of water and cause dryness in the room.
4. You can try to place some green plants in your home, such as rich bamboo, spider plants, lucky trees, through the photosynthesis of green plants release oxygen, so as to improve air quality and humidity.
