How to clean a humidifier 

Use hydrogen peroxide when you use it kills all bacteria..

😂

@bruse wayne Bleach mixed with an acid such as vinegar creates chlorine gas, which can be deadly if inhaled in high amounts.

Nah its fine, you should first dilute the bleach then mix it with distilled vinegar this will give you HOCL very good disinfect and pretty safe. the goal is ph5 and around 200ppm chlorine

Great Point! I am still recovering from an unfortunate cleaning "incident" at my Mum's house four nights ago. I was in a hurry to get the job done- covered the shower, toilet & jacuzzi with a decent amount of bathroom bleach spray. I figured I'd let the bleach "do it's job" and so turned my attention to some sink stains- I followed the directions on the bottle of cleaner I had specially picked up at the store- (totally not checking the ingredients first)...I ran some hot water first- added about 3-4 tablespoons of the cleaner on a sponge and applied to the stained portions. I realized I had forgotten paper towels- so I ran downstairs to grab a roll - probably took 3-4 minutes. When I returned to the bathroom- I noticed a sort of haze hanging around the sink area- (still not realizing that the stain-remover was mainly ammonia) I think my first thought was OMG it's eating away at the porcelain- probably left it sitting too long! So I quickly turned the water full blast to Hot- and soon steam was adding to the vaporous chemical cloud. I think it was only 10-15 seconds until I found my lungs begin to burn- then seize....like I couldn't get any air in...the burning in my throat followed next. I ran out into the bedroom area and ran to the open window about 10 feet away. My Mum rushed me to the ER- where I was immediately checked-in and treated for (Acute) Chloramine Toxicity. I was kept under "Observation" for 36 hours- within 24 hours a rash started to spread on my left arm and flank, entire chest and stomach areas. I am recovering at home presently- the rash has progressed to yellowish crusty- blisters but (thankfully) no new areas have "erupted". I am lucky to be here- typing this post. I encourage everyone to: READ & UNDERSTAND the LABELS on every CLEANER and CHEMICAL that enters your home and work area. It's not a joke, it's definitely not something to be minimized or encouraging others not to worry (about). I am willing to "take the fall" as a fool by any who choose to dish it out. If I save at least one other person from repeating the same mistake- it's totally worth being called any name in the book!

Can u please say how you did it? Like did u put some baking soda inside the humidifier and then poured white vinegar on it?

@@Mellalala577 Exactly, this is the best way

The most sensible way of doing it 👌

Hi, how do you do it with baking soda and vinegar? Portion?

Lol

Vinagre with bleach ?

You’re not supposed to use bleach at all. No harsh chemicals unless you want bleach moisture in your home

Kowser Parvez boom. LOL

Do NOT use bleach!! Cool mist humidifiers aerosolise the water into droplets that are the perfect size to be inhaled deep into the lungs.

That's dangerous -- any remaining drops vinegar that get mixed with the bleach will turn into a very harmful chlorine gas.

Are you still alive @Kowser Parvez?

@@perry7688 lmao he gone

Are you a fucking idiot? You put a small amount of vinegar mixed with water inside the humidifier to clean it. How do you expect your humidifier to get clean from drinking vinegar?

Not supposed to use bleach. It can be harmful when the humidifier gets turned on and fills up your home with bleach moisture

Paper towel

@@tardwrangler but the ones I’ve had , you can’t dry. You can’t stick your hand inside through that tiny hole

That should honestly work (=

@cmillett85 Unfortunately i tryed 99 percent rubbing alcohol and it didn't work. 🫠 My guess you need something mildly acidic to uplift the calcium bluid up.

@@joshchelvolski1033 try Bleach then

Wtf is a late night cleaning kick? How much cocaine/heroin do you need to take for that?

@@imasealarparparp5321 Did you ever consider…. That many (of us) are hard-working & drug-free individuals who work rotating-shifts and might be taking care of people like you who find themselves in need of Emergency Medical Attention….?? -Full-Time Shift-work (especially rotating) takes a toll on mind & body…. …but I guess people like you don’t need to worry about an irregular sleep schedule because you still live at home with your parents….who pay the bills and do all the housework. •P•A•T•H•E•T•I•C•

@@TobyTuesday I’m very sorry that I offended you and your late night cleaning kicks….. ……..and no, I never did consider that. And neither did I give a fuck.

Liana Preacher not apple cider

Yes you can

Laurie Waugh , I have the same exact issue! Did you just shake the heck out of it? What kind of salt did you use?

Will try this with salt water thank you

Doesn’t the salt just dissolve into the water though?

that is bacteria

davidhunternyc only if you enjoy the smell of vinegar :)

Only if you’re okay with the fact that you’ll be breathing in vinegar moisture

@@mrstravel9381 Wow, I posted this comment 5 years ago. Since then I've been using a Honeywell warm mist humidifier for 6 months out of the year. Dirt cheap from Amazon. I clean it with white vinegar once every two weeks. I poor the vinegar on the heating element and let it sit for 8 hours and clean off the crusted on grime with a toothbrush. The humidifier is as good as new and I don't use any vinegar in the water tank at all.

why?

chaitanya khurana Perfect conditions for hypersensitivity pneumonitis (humidifier lung).

I would leave it open and store open in a clean place

Paper towel

@@tardwrangler there’s only a small hole.

@@rayferrara Cloth on metal wire, low temp oven, or heat gun Gonna be a pain in the ass either way sounds like

Yes it's normal for water to be under the tank

What are those exactly. How do they differ?

@@ProBuyersGuides so bhgfg

Hmm I wonder if that's the case and I hope not!

wait

because he needed exactly 32oz

but i've been using tap water for 2 weeks already, it would just require more cleaning no? tap water in canada is safe to drink.

True. You will inhale the minerals of the tap water as well.

You can use tap water but you must clean it weekly.

It's a humidifier :)

Yea

@@creeker230 My homie, that was 5 years ago.

@@IcyHail I was just doing a homie checkup. You good? Also just add a splash of vinegar, cleans real well.

@@creeker230 I'm good, thank you :)

leave the cap off and it will air dry

Yes

Slip of the tongue. My bad. I just used this in winter to add humidity.

Nop humidifier

no, if you have a humidifier you CANT use essential oils. you may add drops into a vaporizer though. two completely different things

why can't you? i have and i noticed it sort of messed with the plastic...is that why?

I add it all the time and have no issue

i've add a liquid vicks to help me kid breath at night, i don't see why you can't

It was a mistake. If you’re not sure what that means ask your mother #boomyaroasted
