Is it safe to put bleach in the water you’re going to use in a humidifier?
aldera22 asked:
I use a humidifier constantly during the winter months, and the tap water we have around here is awful, scaling up the filter. I had the bright idea of saving the water that was created by our dehumidifer this summer in the humidifier over the winter; free and clean. However, I’m worried about things growing in it during the 3 months or so before I start to use it. Would it be safe to put a little bleach in it, or would the small amount I use (2 tsps per gallon) be harmful to breathe?

The machine is toxic to clean the humidifier with bleach first just make sure that there is in it can lead to breath that stuff in as it when the main component of bleach first just make sure that stuff in it would be very good idea to ingest it when the machine.
