- Having a bit more moisture in our home during the winter months, is something we all need in order to kick life's butt!
Dry air makes it harder to breath, causes drier skin which leads to... fine lines and wrinkles .... and is the perpetrator of chapped lips!
Enter the humidifier! Humidifiers are great at restoring moisture into the atmosphere, however they can become a murky, musty, moldy, mess ... inundated and overrun by bacteria if not maintained.
Well rest easy, luscious lips, smooth skin and fresh moist air are in your future, because I'm gonna show you how to clean your humidifier with confidence!!

Thank you!

If you use distilled water it will reduce the amount of buildup on the element.
Fill it with the vinegar but scrub some of the loose stuff off first so the vinegar really can get in there & work it's magic!
Also don't be surprised if you have to let the vinegar sit for alot longer than ½hr if there's alot of buildup.
The amount of time and money you spend on just soaking with vinegar makes spending money constantly on bottled water ridiculous. 30 min to an hour of sitting on your butt while it soaks is nearly no work and almost free. It's like spend $10 on bottled water vs 50 cents of vinegar.
Totally agree!!!
This was so informative and helpful!! Thank you for making this video :D
Happy to help
Doing this finally today. Ty!!
You are welcome

Thank you so much very helpful. I was about to clean my humidifier after 2 weeks using and it grossed me out from all the minerals and water deposits inside. Tho I didn't use distilled water. Is it better to use filtered water or distilled?

This is the most fun I've ever had watching a cleaning tutorial 😂 the humidifier in my house is somewhat sketchy so hopefully this can make me feel better about using it!
Glad you enjoyed the video!😁
I also learned a trick if you take two teaspoons of lemon juice and add it to your humidifier tank it will deodorize the water and it will give your house a nice fresh lemon scent
Which humidifier have you got I’m trying to look for one to get but I’m not sure what to pick
Very interesting…it helped a lot…good instructions..
Glad you found the video valuable!!

How do I clean a Nintendo switch
Yes sir thanks for sticking around! I need to do a video on a Nintendo Switch.
Love this cleaning tip but i do have a question how many times can i clean my humidifer during the year when Im not using it?
thanks guy
You are welcome
Bought the same model about a year ago. Using it for humidifying my houseplants, now the thing is leaking water. Took it apart the other night and cleaned everywhere, alot of gunk came off the heating element area, and it's still leaking? Not sure what more I need to clean or fix
what brand of humidifier is that? it looks good!
Very helpful!
Glad you found the video valuable🙂
How often would you suggest cleaning it?
well done!
Thanks
how often should i clean?
great enthusiasum. and nice shout out to Dawn dishsoap.
Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
👍😁 Thank you
You are welcome
GREAT VIDEO
Thanks!
There is a grey curvature piece that goes in the base of mine. Anybody know how it goes back in after vleaning
Thank you for the informative video! Should you disinfect with bleach every week?
Once a month I put my humidifier in my garage and I plug it in ...I add two cups of water and two and a half cups of vinegar and I run it for 1 hours.... And then I just take it apart and rinse it and it has saved me a lot of time on scrubbing.... Every time I run my humidifier I put a couple of drops of lemon juice in my humidifier tank.... It deodorizes the water and gives your house a nice fresh lemon scent
Nice🙂
The vinegar did it’s job after 45 min thank you. But the other item specifically the one that goes on the bottom and the tank was filthy.
My humidifier has a much smaller hole and i cant get the film off the inside...particularly on one side of it. I have a crane cone shaped one. Any tips?
Lovely video
:)
You have fantastic energy my man! Question, I don't have vinegar handy, but I do have rubbing alcohol. Can I use that?
The rubbing alcohol wont work. You need an acid.
Can you use not distilled white vinegar?
Not only are you using the exact same humidifier I have, the tutorial is great. Letting mine soak overnight, it was pretty calcified. How often should this be done?
Glad you found the video valuable!! You just do it when needed👍
If you only use distilled water in it there should be waaaaaay less calcification.
howdy! thanks for the lesson, how often would you recommend doing this routine? thanks!
Happy to help! Just whenever it needs it. It varies depending on the hardness of the water.
Your cleaning energy got you a new subscriber. LOL. What is you fluffy kitty's name?
Welcome to the channel!!🙂
His name is Mr Fuzzball
thanks
You are welcome
@@CleanWithConfidence this helped my Christian friend tommy story so he and hos special nephew bobby story can learn to clean it out and tommy said he likes how you act with the video camera and i added yeah hes like our friend david drewry duncan with the video camera
Confidence 💪
Yes👍🙂
I got the same model but ion have just regular distilled vinegar I have apple cider vinegar at hand will that work if not is there another way to clean it
I wouldn't recommend apple cider vinegar because that stuff is very expensive. I would just get a jug of regular vinegar from Wal-Mart for cheap.
Nice 👍🏼
:)
You crack me up!!! So fun! So cute! You actually get me excited to clean my humidifier!! Quick question... could you recommend a larger humidifier to moisten a larger area? My bedroom is huge and I think my Vicks is a smidge small. Thanks!!!
Good to hear from you, glad you are enjoying the videos!! No ma'am I don't have any specific humidifier recommendations. If I was in your situation I would just shop on Amazon like everyone else looking at the ratings.
Does this work with warm and cool humidifiers?
Yes
Mine is a cool mist ! Can u brush that with a still bristle brush
Yes
My hole is not big enough. What do I do? Mold inside the tank.
Can you use CLR to clean the humidifier?
I recommend the vinegar.
The intro was kind of cheesy (🙈) but the info was awesome. You showed step by step what to do and made it very easy to follow. Thank you.
Happy to help👍Cheesy is the best!!🙂
Question if you use a humidifier daily, how often she it be cleaned ? Once a month? Once a season?
Thats a variable because it depends on how hard the water is where you live. If you see that heating element crusting up its time to clean it.
@@CleanWithConfidence understood! Lol I was gonna be extra anyways and use essentia water but thanks
no se si me robaron pero el humedificador que compre por amazone no trae la cajita para colocar las pastas vicks.......... entonces que hago?
Está debajo del dial
Even if instruction manual just says to clean with water?
I have the same humidifier and cant get that heating clean up its like a stone already
One thing you forgot to mention/show, how did you remove the scum from the heating element? Otherwise good tutorial.
Mine is only 3 weeks old. Not sure I would need to do this.
You do
why vinegar and not bleach?
Those are great tips BUT (just an FYI) that is a vaporizer, not a humidifier, hence the heating element. Regardless, I still found this helpful for cleaning my daughter's humidifier, so thank you.
You are welcome! Whats the difference in the two?
@@CleanWithConfidence A vaporizer has a heating element and creates steam to add moisture to the air, so it can actually cause a room to feel warmer, or even muggy in certain climates (like where I live in GA). A humidifier puts cool mist into the air by way of a small high-speed fan that wicks up water particles.
Thanks for technical info...sort of common sense....but they both humidify the air thus increasing humidity.
Your aura my god…
How many times did he say Vinegar
How often I have to do this?
As needed
If you want to get deposits off... forget about 5 or 6% vinegar and get 20 or 30% vinegar but do the soaking and flushing outside. Imperative ! to do it outside... harsh fumes !
The 20% is overkill. The 5 to 6% works no problem.
Subbed
Welcome to the channel!!
Can I use cleaning vinegar?
Absolutely!
I just got into the humidifier game dude to I got Covid-19. After 3-4 days I clean mine I never understand how these things get so much bacteria, mine isn’t to bad like a little red bacteria on it. I just bought one of those fish things to put in so it fights bacteria.
What's a fish thing? Thanks
We use distilled water so that avoids the scale
Yes that is the best thing to do👍🙂
How often would you clean the humidifier 🤔
You didn't use bleach to clean the base and tank? I had a Sunbeam warm mist humidifier and used bleach for the tank only once every month or two and didn't have any trouble with mold growth. I think mold growth is just a problem for cool mist humidifiers.
No I don't use the bleach. The vinegar will kill it as well.
I normally use vinegar but mine looked very bad when i took it out for the season. I cleaned with dawn and vinegar. Now I’m letting a small water and bleach solution run through it, on slow, outside for a couple hours.
