People who often work indoors should not forget to open windows properly for ventilation, so as to maintain indoor air circulation and humidity and keep away from dryness and influenza. In winter, people are often most concerned about the indoor temperature, while ignoring the indoor ventilation and humidity. The room temperature is too high and the humidity is too low, which will also cause physical discomfort and disease. For indoor moisturizing in winter, in addition to sprinkling some water on the ground every day or mopping the floor with a wet mop to increase humidity, you can also put a basin of water near the heat dissipation facilities to let the water evaporate slowly to keep the indoor air moist. In addition, raising a few pots of flowers and plants in the room or buying a humidifier can also adjust the indoor humidity to fill the room with fresh air.
