its simple, but the cloth does have a large surface area that improves the evaporation of the water, and if the humidifier is placed in front of a fan a bit, it will also help the evaporation of the water
I’ve done this using thin, disposable aluminum baking pans. Holds more water, larger cloth surface, cheap. Put them in front of the heat vents in any room. When they get too caked with mineral deposits, just throw them in the recycle bin.For a summer dehumidifier — if you have a basement — turn your furnace thermostat’s FAN switch from AUTO to ON and the furnace fan will blow 24/7 ( with no heat). This will dry out the basement and pull up the cool air from there to the rest of the house.

Ok, also the “ruffer” the cloth used, the more surface area it will have and the more water vapor can be released into the air. It’s surprising, one the heater here, the bowl-cloth humidifier evaporates in a day.
