CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps eliminate odors and bacterial and
fungal growth. Ordinary household bleach is a good disinfectant and can be used to
wipe out the humidifier base and bottle/reservoir after cleaning. We recommend
cleaning your humidifier at least once every two weeks to maintain optimum
environmental conditions for your home. We also recommend using AIRCARE
®
or
Essick Air
®
Bacteriostat Treatment each time you refill your humidifier to
eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the instructions on the
bottle. Please call 1-800-547-3888 to order Bacteriostat Treatment, PN 1970 or wicks.
