Where does it come from in my bone-dry house?
People, animals, plants, cooking, dishwasher, washing machine, showering, bathing, mopping, etc.
Was the question meant seriously?
The question of how moisture gets into the house is totally pointless. Because you live in it and release it just by existing. Done.
How you ventilate it might be a matter of taste, but not
whether you have to get rid of it.
Anyone who claims that an inhabited and lively house is without any ventilation
bone dry should prove it: Seal everything tight for two days, no exhaust hood in the kitchen, but continue living normally with cooking, showering, washing machine, dishwasher, breathing, etc. Then measure the humidity. If it’s still bone dry after that, I’ll say nothing...
By the way, humidifiers were invented for such dry houses
They were actually invented for people whose mucous membranes threaten to break down in the already significantly drier winter. It has nothing to do with the house, but with the season. These old ceramic reservoirs were not hung on radiators for nothing back in the day.
