To keep your Vicks Filter Free Cool Mist Humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is recommended. 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.
Empty the water tank, then remove the mist nozzle and empty reservoir.
Follow the separate steps for descaling and disinfecting. Both steps are important and should be performed weekly.
To descale the unit, pour one cup of undiluted distilled white vinegar into the water tank.
Place the mist nozzle inside the tank and secure the tank cap.
Gently swish the solution in the tank to make sure the vinegar wets the entire inside.
Place the tank on its base so the vinegar can drain into the water reservoir and loosen mineral buildup.
Soak for twenty minutes.
After soaking, remove the nozzle from the tank.
Pour the solution out from the tank and reservoir, then wipe the nebulizer, float and reservoir with a soft cloth.
Rinse the tank, reservoir and nozzle with water then empty and repeat until the smell of vinegar is gone.
When disinfecting, be sure to wear gloves when handling bleach.
Mix a gallon of water, with a teaspoon of bleach.
Pour bleach solution into the water tank, add mist nozzle and replace the cap.
Gently swish the solution in the tank in circles to make sure it wets the entire inside.
Place the tank on the base to let the solution drain into the reservoir and soak for twenty minutes.
After soaking, carefully empty the solution from the tank and base.
Rinse the tank, nozzle and reservoir with water.
Empty and repeat until the smell of bleach is gone.
To clean the scent pad compartment, simply wipe the area gently with a soft damp cloth.
