Here’s the weird part: humidifiers love water, but they hate hard water. Calcium and magnesium crystals form crusty buildup called scale. It’s like a rock band forming inside your machine, but they play only one song: “Clog City.”
You also breathe in those minerals. Microscopic particles float into the air, landing on your lungs like tiny house guests who never leave. Not cool, tap water. Not cool.
But wait—there’s a funny fix. You can turn that boring tap water into humidifier-safe liquid without buying a single bottle of distilled. It’s like wizardry, but with kitchen stuff.
