Look, I know distilled water isn’t always easy. It costs money. You have to carry jugs home, which makes you look like a hydration criminal. Here’s where the cheat codes come in.
Option A: Use a demineralization cartridge. These little plastic wizards snap into many humidifiers and grab minerals before they escape. They cost less than distilled water over time, and they do the work while you binge-watch your shows.
Option B: Descale regularly. If you must use tap water, clean your humidifier every three days with a splash of vinegar. It’ll smell like a salad dressing factory for an hour, but it beats the white dust apocalypse.
