Weekly cleaning is recommended to keep your Vicks Warm Mist humidifier running efficiently.
If you recently used the humidifier, wait 20 to 30 minutes for the unit to cool before cleaning.
All maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water-resistant surface near a faucet.
Before cleaning, turn off, unplug, and remove any accessories from the humidifier.
Then empty the tank and disassemble the medicine cup by pulling it apart from the mist chimney.
Gently push on the blue latch and lift the mist chimney and tray to remove.
Finally empty the base and follow these separate steps for descaling and disinfecting.
Both steps are important and should be performed weekly.
To descale the unit, fill the base and water tank with one cup of undiluted vinegar.
Replace the tank cap and gently swish the vinegar in the tank to make sure its wets the entire inside.
Soak for twenty minutes.
Meanwhile, wet a soft cloth with vinegar and wipe the medicine cup, mist chimney and removable tray. These parts are also top rack dishwasher safe.
After soaking, with a soft brush, gently scrub the heating chamber to remove mineral deposits.
Then empty the vinegar and rinse the humidifier’s parts with water until the smell of vinegar is gone.
To disinfect, use rubber gloves when handling bleach.
Mix a gallon of water with a teaspoon of bleach and pour the bleach solution into the base and water tank.
Replace the tank cap and gently swish the solution in the tank to make sure it wets the entire inside.
Soak for twenty minutes.
Meanwhile, wet a soft cloth with solution and wipe the medicine cup, mist chimney and removable tray.
Empty the solution from the base and tank and rinse with water until the smell of bleach is gone.
To clean the scent pad compartment, simply wipe the area gently with a soft, damp cloth.
