cleaning out a ultrasonic humidifier
    #5806644 - 06/30/06 12:02 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I bought a used ultrasonic. How deos one clean it out. I was thinking maybe running a bleach solution through it. However, bleach might get stuck int he demineralizing filter. Any ideas?

usually you want to clean humidifiers in two steps:

make a vinegar/water solution.  about 25% vinegar to 75% water.  fill up the humidifier and let soak about an hour.  (dont run it with the vinegar water in it!)  drain and rinse out.  the vinegar takes care of mineral build-up and gets all the gunk inside un-stuck.  i dont have a humi with a demineralizing filter so you may or may not need or want to do this step... id google around and see.

follow that up with bleach/water, 10% bleach to 90% water.  same deal, let soak but don't run, rinse well... the bleach kills off any of the microorganisms that might've tried making the humidifier their home. :smile:

but in order to clean the output spout and the exit chamber you would need to actualy run the humidifier with the bleach/vinagear. If not run, the bleach/vinigaer just stays in the storage reservoir. Maybe i will soak the exhaust chamber in a huge pot of bleach & water.
