   You need a hydrometer to measure the humidity. Add water and heat and the humidity should rise. If it doesn't rise enough try using a new wet sponge or a new wet athletic sock. The greater the surface area of the water the higher the humidity. If it remains lower than you need it to be add a humidifier to the room.
