How do you clean it out ? vinegar or clorox ? null

Every week or 2 weeks depending on usage and water hardness: 2 cups of distilled white vinegar (full strength) - shake top part; connect with bottom part and let liquid flow to bottom reservoir, then let sit for 15 to 20 minutes; the second part is to use bleach (separately from the vinegar treatment) - 1 teaspoon with half gallon of water (same as vinegar procedure) - it's on the instruction manual.

I’ve only cleaned it out with hot water and let it air dry

I use vinegar - organic product. Should be safer than chlorox

Thank you for your inquiry. You will descale this humidifier with vinegar, and then after rinsing the unit out, disinfecting it with a bleach/water solution. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

You can, but there’s not really a reason to. The top clear part comes off so you can clean that by rinsing it out. I’d avoid any harsh chemicals (like Clorox) and probably just use some mild soapy water and rinse it well.

Just clean it out with water and soap. No need for vinegar since it doesnt have a filter
