Reply By it's.only.me Flag0The Wal-mart in our area sells an additive to keep the water in a humidifier clean from mold and bacteria. It is fairly inexpensive. One bottle usually lasts awhile.

Reply Flag0only if you want to destroy the cilia and delicate mucosa lining your airways Reply Question: FlagBy Rose Anne Hutchence0My humidifier uses wick filters and I'm replacing the filter every 2-3 weeks. I've tried various water treatment solutions, but they're expensive too. Can anyone please recommend solutions which don't involve spending a lot or which use common household ingredients and not a number of questionable chemicals? Our water is reasonably hard and fluoridated. Rose Anne from Calgary, Alberta Answer By Shri Flag0First, see if you cant' make a filter out of the same thing the furnace uses.

I used to make my own vacuum cleaner filters that way, but I'm not sure it it would work with moisture. Most of the time I've found that cleaning the filters in a mild beach or vinegar water will clean them. I've elongated the life of my filters three-fold by doing this. Reply By JackC Flag0I use bleach and water to soak the filters about once every ten days. Make sure you use gloves, and don't squeeze the filters, just rinse them afterwards. It will have a slight bleach smell for a day, but it will give the filter about six months of lifespan. I've also heard citric acid is good for removing minerals, but have not tried it.

And you'd be bette off if you would switch to an ultrasonic-type humidifier then you could clean weekly with bleach or vinegar. With ultrasonic type they require no filters.

By Allen from Rochester, NY Answer Flag0White distilled vinegar is excellent for removing odors and safe for cleaning humidifiers.
