(1) Do not add water to the tank, and replace the water each time it is used up.
(2) Take care once a week for a few minutes.
(3) When not using the humidifier, take out the filter or tray and dry the entire humidifier to prevent odors.
(4) In addition, it is said that tap water containing residual chlorine is better than water that has passed through a water purifier as the water used for the humidifier.
Cause of odor ↓
The main cause of the unpleasant odor of a humidifier is the odor that comes out when mold and germs increase. If you add water before it is used up, germs will only increase. In particular, if the water in the tank is left unattended, it will be warmed by the heat of the humidifier body and become a hotbed of bacteria.
Countermeasures ↓
(1) If you are concerned about water stains or odors, it is recommended to use baking soda. Baking soda also acts as an abrasive, so it can be scrubbed to remove water stains. In addition, it has a deodorant effect, so you can take measures against odors by soaking and washing for about 30 minutes.
(2) Citric acid is recommended for stains on chlorine. Citric acid is decomposed by soaking it for a while and can be removed cleanly. However, it takes about 2 hours to soak the citric acid, so clean it when you have time.
(3) Operate the humidifier for about 30 minutes for cleaning. Do not do this in a room with people, as dirt will be diffused. It is easy if you drive while turning the ventilation fan in the bathroom.
