A bottle brush works really well for that hollow cylinder in the middle part

And thank you for making this video it was very helpful

[@mrincredible5492]

Thanks! I mixed some vinegar and water but I ran it for 10mins in the garage

Does the mist nozzle on top come off so you can clean it? I saw where they do this on other similar models.

[@sanakhursheed6480]

How do you clean the tube inside. Mine has scale deposits in it too

[@dr797-w2b]

I have this model. Q: The vinegar goes into the reservoir when you place the tank on the base as you let it sit for 20 minutes. No need to pour vinegar into the reservoir, is there? Q: Why do you have to let it dry?

So you don’t have to use bleach?

[@StephanieSMGH]

I think is perfectly fine to use bleach OR vinegar. I've never been super comfortable using bleach, so I use vinegar. I feel like there is more room for error...if that makes sense.

[@notevenalittle8363]

None of these tips have worked for me. I am finding that the only way is to find a tank with a access point large enough for my hand to get in to the water chamber and then scrub with vinegar, baking soda or lemon. If not, it's not really getting clean and you are breathing in moldy and unclean mist.

[@StephanieSMGH]

Sorry to hear that! Did you try the paper towel trick or maybe one of those tiny scrub brushes for bottles? That might work!
