Icky humidifiers (Score:1)

We have had the same problem - forced air heating resuting in dry noses resulting in more colds. Most humidifiers (especially the wick-type ones) seem to be designed to be breeding grounds for molds, mildew, and our good friend Legionella.

Last year, we invested in a humidifier with a UV lamp and a boiler; it works very well, and can be cleaned once a weak with weak bleach in the tank and a 1/2 cup of vinegar in the boiler section.

It stays clean, and no more icky icky chemicals and icky icky icky goop being blown into the air.
