Neglecting to clean your humidifier can lead to the growth of mold and bacteria, which can cause flu-like symptoms, allergies, asthma, and even serious lung diseases. To properly disinfect your humidifier, experts recommend cleaning it at least once a week using distilled white vinegar, using a microfiber towel for scrubbing and drying, and using bottled distilled water to fill it. Regularly replacing filters and emptying and drying the water tank daily are also crucial. Mold and bacteria can be present even if the humidifier looks clean, so it's important to maintain regular cleaning to prevent potential health issues.
