I let mine run outside with the vinegar in it for about an hour. That gets rid of any possible mineral buildup throughout, and is a great jumpstart for the cleaning process. I also use filtered water and clean it about once a week, so I've never seen any of that gross looking buildup on mine.
Ive found that if you take an old toothbrush, wash it in the dish washer, you can use it for the little places to get the buildup. Then you just wash the toothbrush in the dishwasher again c: (i use it as a scrub brush for laundry stains too c:)
this is one of the worst parts about having a humidifier. they take sooo much work to clean and it's just a huge task to get the right supplies and my humidifier is super annoying to clean
My question is, how can I wipe/scrub the inside of the water tank?? I have just a small hole and when I put my finger inside I can wipe some build up away, but I can't reach the rest of the inside.. I've already soaked it in vinegar, but not sure if it's safe to use if I can still see stuff that needs to be wiped
@@josermtz My guess is that the machine's filters break down; the weekly easy cleaning will help. Myself, I have never cleaned it. I will buy a new one, and maintain a schedule.
Put vinegar in your toilet and watch what happens!! ✨ Watch Here --->>> th-cam.com/video/OIG5iM4bz1M/w-d-xo.html

Just found your channel cause I just bought this humidifier. Thank you for this video, oh by the way, New subscriber
Can we use the regular white vinegar we consume vs the cleaning one you used here?
Yes

Thank you.I’m running less than a cup through.I’ll do a full cup second run 🏃♀️
Cleaning Vinegar is Fantastic! I use it Often on Many things!
I’m getting one and I will be cleaning it weekly!! Good information
Awesome!! Thank you ✨
this is one of the worst parts about having a humidifier. they take sooo much work to clean and it's just a huge task to get the right supplies and my humidifier is super annoying to clean
Thank u for this video. I totally forgot to clean my humidifier. Be safe and God bless you and your family
No thank you ❤️❤️❤️ you too Donna!
You’re the best! I’m a new fan.
I just pour an oz or two of white vinegar in mine when refilling it and it stays clean
This is the same way we clean ours! Smart!
So cool!! 😊
To save time you can skip the vinegar and treat everything with a 4-1 solution of water and 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Thank you!!!!! And how amazing I have the same humidifier! So this is perfect!
That is great!! Thanks Kim ❤️
Can you also use a sani-wipe to wipe it down? Or at the very least, do Sani-wipes hurt it any?
Can you substitute citric acid? Luv your vids!
Yes 👍
Table salt and rubbing alcohol to get the slim out if the tank
Thanks so much! You are amazing! I totally needed this! I use one for my son every night!
Yes me too!! Thank you Toneka 👍
Thank you, Didnt no it had to be Sanitized great how to Tipp use a Tooth brush🎄
Can I clean it with dish soap?
Yes.

Thank you for this! Cleaning mine for my baby. Congratulations. You said you were 25 weeks pregnant. Boy or girl?
It was a girl ❤️
Me too. My girl is now 10 months old! They’re so fun. 💞
i also have same Vicks cool mist humidifier. Wondering can run it on with vinegrar inside for 15-20 mins??
This looks doable. Thanks.
How do we clean the filter? 🙂
Why is it soapy when you only put vinegar in there?😅
Idk lol 😂
That “cleaning vinegar” does make suds. I made the mistake of putting it in my front load washing machine 😳
I also want to no where, the suds come from
Thank you sweetie 🤎🤎
An old toothbrush helps get those nooks & crannies!
Ho! I just bought it and I don’t see any steam! Are we supposed to see any steam?
You are awesome thank you :)
I just tried toilet cleaner. Works fast too
Wowsers! That might work fast. But I wonder if that might be harsh.
Can i use regular vinegar
No, it has different properties and will not give the same result.
Yes, you can use regular white vinegar. That's what I also use when cleaning my coffee maker on the clean cycle.
After this video I decided that it makes more sense to buy a new one every year. I mean those things cost something in between 30 and 40€.
Lol!
@@AndreaJean was not intended as a criticism - the video and how you cleaned is was prefectly fine :) (at least as far as I am able to assess it)
You can also buy distilled water and use that instead of sink water

Not very environmentally friendly
Weekly??? That vinegar (Amazon) is $12 a gallon.
$2 for 5 liters at Costco or sams club
Dollar tree has it if you have one near you
Thank you
why would you bother drying it? it's a humidifier
Bacteria dude
@@shayluvsmj58Yes, but you are going to fill it up with water right after washing it. Dude. Use those brain cells much?
Nice ring
I waited 10 years for that lol 😆
Good job jeans
