"Step three: Clean the base If there's a filter or wick, take it out and set it aside. Using a mixture of equal parts 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and water, fill the base and allow it to soak for half an hour. Then, scrub the base with a soft scrub brush (like a toothbrush) or cloth to remove any remaining residue."
"Step one: Unplug and disassemble Unplug the humidifier from its power source and take it apart. Remove the filter from the humidifier and rinse it under cold water. Set it aside to air dry. Pour out any leftover water in the tank. Fill the water tank with a gallon of water and one teaspoon of bleach. Mock recommends that you swish the bleach solution inside the basin (to make sure it gets into all of the crevices) and let it sit for 20 minutes."
Use either 3 percent hydrogen peroxide or a bleach solution to clean and disinfect humidifiers. Unplug and fully disassemble the unit, separating the water tank, base, and removable parts. Rinse and remove mineral deposits from the tank with warm water and a soft brush or cloth. For hydrogen peroxide cleaning, soak the base in equal parts 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and water for 30 minutes, then scrub and rinse thoroughly. For bleach disinfection, fill the tank with a gallon of water and one teaspoon of bleach, swish the solution into crevices, and let it sit for 20 minutes. Rinse all parts until no cleaner remains, dry, replace filters or wicks if needed, and reassemble with fresh distilled water.
