A humidifier is a device that increases the moisture in the air by evaporating water. They’re great for dry climates and people who suffer from allergies or asthma, but they can also be a breeding ground for bacteria if not properly cared for.
Read on to keep your humidifier working well, including how often you should clean it and what cleaning products to use!
Content Summary
How to clean the Taotronics humidifier?
- Use a damp cloth to wipe down the humidifier.
- Clean the fan blades with a soft brush or toothbrush, if necessary.
- Clean the water tank and any other removable parts that might need it, such as filters or impellers (if your model has them). This will help prevent mold from growing inside your humidifier and potentially causing health problems for you or others who breathe in dust mites and bacteria from these surfaces when they’re not properly cleaned regularly!
What’s the difference between cool and warm mist humidifiers?
The main difference is that a warm mist humidifier will heat water to create steam, which is then dispersed into the air. This process can be more expensive than cold water and relies on electricity.
Warm mist humidifiers are more effective at treating dry skin and chapped lips. Still, they may not be ideal for people with asthma or allergies since they emit tiny amounts of vaporized minerals from the water into your home’s air supply. Cool mist humidifiers operate by pumping cool tap water through an evaporator coil that turns it into water droplets–the same as when you boil something on the stovetop!
These droplets disperse throughout your house as they evaporate into liquid form (much like misty rain).
How often should I clean my humidifier?
Cleaning your humidifier is a simple and easy process that should take no more than 10 minutes.
You should clean it once a week, primarily if you use the humidifier often. However, if you rarely use it or don’t notice any problems with its performance, then cleaning can be done less frequently.
