FAQ:
Why should I use a Humidifier?
The real question is why shouldn’t you? Humidifiers add essential moisture to
indoor air, relieving congestion from the common cold and flu and soothing
scratchy throats, dry skin and eyes, and irritated sinuses. Perfect for babies,
adults, and everyone in between, a humidifier’s additional moisture thins
the mucus in the sinuses, making it easier to breathe. And we know that when it
comes down to your family’s health, you’re all about breathing easy! Even
if you’re feeling great, our Crane Humidifiers are must-haves. From smooth
skin to shiny hair to cared-for furniture, they keep you and your home looking
beautiful and feeling comfortable. Now that’s Better Living.
Humidifier or Vaporiser?
Humidifier is the name in the US for what is usually called a Vaporiser in New
Zealand and Australia. It is important to note that Crane Adorable, Drop and
Travel Humidifer/Vaporisers are cool mist Ultrasonic Vaporisers, not to be
confused with warm mist or steam vaporisers. We use the terms Humidifer and
Vaporiser interchangebly when referring to Crane products.
Which is Better: Warm Mist or Cool Mist?
The major difference is that a Warm Mist Humidifier is heating the water to
produce steam vapor. Cool Mist Humidifiers use an Ultrasonic Nebulizer that
vibrates at a very high frequency to produce an extra fine water mist. When it
comes to humidifying a room, there is not much of a difference between the two
types – both are equally effective. However, pediatricians and parents alike
recommend Cool Mist Humidifiers for babies and children because there is no
heating element, which could be a safety risk for a child. Cool Mist Humidifiers
can also save money on energy costs.
Can I use Essential Oils with my Crane Vaporiser?
No. It is the cool mist produced by the Crane Vaporisers that is so effective at
providing relief for dry coughs, nasal congestion, and croup. Pediatricians
recommend cool mist to relieve cold and flu symptoms, sooth the throat and
reduce swelling. Using oils is not required for the Crane humidifier to be
effective in relieving these symptoms, and not recommended as over time oils
will degrade the plastic and interfere with the operation of the ultrasonic
membrane. For this reason we recommend that oils NOT be used with Crane
humidifiers. A glass or ceramic defuser is more suited for use with oils.
Humidifiers are one of the most common Baby Registry items. Why does
my Baby need one?
Newborns are Obligate Nasal Breathers, meaning that they can only breathe in
through their nose for the first 4–6 months of their lives. Their nostrils are
so small that even the tiniest clog can make everything from feeding to sleeping
difficult and frustrating. Perhaps more importantly, the American Academy of
Pediatrics advises against using Over the Counter Cold Medication for children
under the age of 6. For these reasons, pediatricians recommend using Cool Mist
Humidifiers to relieve cold and flu symptoms in children.
What’s the Best Way to Clean my Humidifier?
It’s simple. Regular cleaning will keep your humidifier running smoother,
longer. We highly recommend emptying the water tank and basin after each use and
disinfecting them at least once a week with water and a few capfuls of white
vinegar. Please check the Manual for further instructions.
Do I need a Filter to run my Humidifier?
Nope. We’re all about simple, clean design, so our humidifiers work perfectly
without a filter. One might be necessary if you notice a fine white dust
collecting near your Humidifier you can also switch to distilled water to lower
the dust-building mineral content. Crane Demineralization Filters remove excess
minerals, reducing the white dust so your air (and your home) stays clean.
Please do not carry the water tank by the handle when it is filled with water. And do not use hot water to fill tank. Oils cannot be used with this product.
Please note Crane Liquids are not recommended for use with children under 3 years of age
