MILTON, Ontario, Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cold outdoor air doesn't have to mean uncomfortable indoor air that can leave you feeling dry, itchy and congested.

Now it's easier than ever to make your home more comfortable during the dry winter months with today's newest Honeywell Germ-Free Humidification products.

As cold temperatures set in, humidity levels drop, leading to dry indoor air. Humidifiers raise indoor humidity levels and help keep indoor air moist for more comfortable living. A comfortable humidity level should be between 40 and 60 percent. This helps temporarily relieve dry air discomforts. Comfortable humidity helps temporarily relieve congestion and cough. Maintaining an indoor humidity level between 40-60% can reduce the survival of flu viruses on surfaces and in the air*. A humidifier is a great way to raise indoor humidity levels and keep indoor air moist for more comfortable living.
The Honeywell Cool Mist Tower Humidifier with Germ Free Humidification and Electronic Controls 43-5954 (HCM-315T) comes equipped with QuietCare(TM) technology, which delivers fresh, cool moisture up to 30% quieter than other evaporative humidifiers. The humidifier is also designed to kill up to 99.9% of bacteria, mould, fungus and virus that can exist in the tap water you use to fill the unit. Its UV germ killing technology allows water to be treated as it passes through the water tray, reducing up to 99.9% of water-bred germs in the moisture output after two hours of continuous use**. The Honeywell humidifier has easy to set Electronic Controls, three moisture output settings and has a sleek design that can fit comfortably in any room of the house. This model is sold exclusively at Canadian Tire Stores.
In addition, all Honeywell humidifiers come with a three-year limited warranty.
*Studies have shown that keeping indoor air at an RH level of 40-60% reduces survival of flu viruses on surfaces and in the air compared to lower RH levels. When used as directed, humidifiers can achieve and maintain 40-60% RH levels.
