Product Information

Ultrasonic cool mist humidifiers use a high-speed vibrating plate to turn water into a fine mist. With smaller fans and no gurgling water, these are often the quietest option when it comes to cool mist humidifiers. Cleaning is also relatively simple (just rinse the tank and internals), but you do need to keep these raised off the ground to avoid puddling of the water. Disinfect the humidifier weekly with bleach. Add 1⁄ 2 teaspoon (2.5 mL)} of bleach to 1⁄ 2 gallon (1.9 L) of water and fill the tank with this cleaning solution. Place the tank on the base and let the solution drain into the base. Keep the solution in the humidifier for 15-20 minutes, then empty out both the base and tank in the sink. Pour water into the base and tank and flush the humidifier out until they no longer smell like bleach.

Put the humidifier on a flat, waterproof surface. The surface should be at least 4 feet (1.2 m) away from your bedside and 6 inches (15 cm) away from the wall. If you have any pets or small children, place the humidifier where it will not be disturbed by either.
