Australian homes face wildly different humidity challenges — arid inland air, coastal dampness, and the drying effects of constant air conditioning. Aim for 40–60 % RH; below 40 % causes dry eyes, sore throats and static, while above 60 % raises the chance of mold, dust mites and damp smells.
What You Need to Know
Measure RH first. Put a hygrometer in the living area and bedroom for 24–48 hours.
Match the device to the reading: add a humidifier if RH regularly reads below 40 %; pick a dehumidifier when RH sits above 60 %. The Australian Government's Your Home guide on sealing and ventilation provides useful context on managing indoor humidity.

Measure your indoor humidity first. Whichever direction moisture swings, clean air still matters: pair your humidity device with the Levoit Vital 100S to capture particles, allergens and odours.
