How often should I clean my humidifier

Weekly cleaning is recommended for best results. However, please feel free to clean the unit less at your own discretion. At minimum, we would encourage cleaning with distilled white vinegar once a month and before storing your unit.

How do I clean/disinfect my humidifier

Always clean your humidifier with water. For tough stains, you may use a diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide solution or 1 teaspoon of liquid chlorine bleach with 1 gallon of water, to clean and disinfect your humidifier: 

Note:  

  • Always unplug your humidifier from the power outlet before cleaning your humidifier or detaching the water tank from the humidifier base. 
  • Do not clean the humidifier immediately after turning it off, especially if it has been diffusing warm mist. Allow the humidifier to cool down completely before cleaning. 
  • Pour the cleaning mixture into the tank and allow to drain into the base chamber. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Do not pour any liquid into the air outlet. 
  • Pour the cleaning mixture into the tank, seal it, and swish. Make sure to coat all sides of the tank. Let it sit for 30 minutes. 
  • Carefully dump the cleaning mixture from the base chamber and tank, ensuring the water does not flow into the air outlet.  
  • Thoroughly rinse all components of the humidifier with water. 
  • Allow the unit to air dry.

However, please feel free to clean the unit less at your own discretion. At minimum, we would encourage cleaning with distilled white vinegar once a month and before storing your unit.
