We kill two birds with one stone. Our house is fairly dry and we get static shocks reaching for light switches and door handles. We do not run a humidifier but we do add moisture to the air.
I often enjoy a cup of green tea in the late afternoon. The tea kettle spits up some as I run to answer the whistle. We air dry our dishes using the dish rack when we hand wash and open the machine before the dry cycle if we use the dishwasher.
But one practice I use year round is that I do not run most clothes completely dry in the dryer. I washed 3 loads yesterday and all door jams have hangers spaced across them. Later this morning I'll run them up to the closet so it's only for a day that we have our clean laundry adding moisture to the atmosphere.
Our dryer is used for several loads a week but not for jeans, dress clothes, knit tops, and dress shirts. I tumble those for a few minutes and grab them out. After a quick shake, they are placed on hangers. We save on gas, wear on the machine, and add moisture to the house.
'til later
