We use grapefruit seed oil in ours. It probably isn't as strong as hydrogen
peroxide but we have noticed a lot fewer problems than last year when we
used basically nothing.

What do you put in humidifiers to keep the bacteria down?

Thanks

I, as many others, have had bad humidifier exeperiences. I now keep it
off, and I am increasing the number of houseplants by 20% every year.
Next year I should have 40, or 2 per 100sqft. They do the trick,
specially if you fill the tray underneath with pebbles and water.
