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 cabinet 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 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
