You love the benefits of your humidifier – softer skin, relief from coughs, and no new gaps forming in your hardwood flooring, woot! But chances are, you don’t always remember to clean your humidifier. And that’s a no-no. Cleaning your humidifier is actually really important (and really easy, too).
1. Mineral buildup, leading to poor performance
2. Mold/bacteria growth, leading to unclean moisture or odors
Without regular cleaning, the parts of your humidifier that come into contact with water can develop mold and bacteria growth.
Since nobody wants a humidifier that (1) doesn’t work well or (2) becomes a mold hang-out spot, you absolutely need to clean your humidifier regularly.
The good news is, cleaning your humidifier is really easy, especially if you clean it regularly.
1. Daily rinse and refill: A daily rinse and refill goes a long way towards preventing scale and mold/bacteria growth in the first place.
2. Weekly descale and disinfect: During periods of time when you’re using your humidifier, descale and disinfect it once a week.
If your humidifier has a filter, the filter should be replaced every 30-60 days.
3. Seasonal shut-down and start-up:
The benefits of humidifying outweigh the small amount of cleaning that keeps your humidifier working well.

Household Safety Is One Of Your Top Priorities.
We agree with you, so we took the initiative to create an entire program around building enhanced safety features into our portable heaters. True comfort isn’t just about temperature, it’s about peace of mind.
Our program, entitled Safety Matters™, is constantly evolving to ensure that our products are made with innovative, tried and tested safety features.
In fact, we incorporate safety features that meet and exceed industry standards into each of our products. Safety features used vary between models based on the design and intended usage of the heater.
Some of the safety features built into our heaters:
NEVER plug a portable heater into an extension cord or power strip.
Always place a portable heater on a level, flat surface away from heavy foot traffic.
DON’T hide a portable heater cord under rugs or carpeting.

Portable Heater DO'S

Check to ensure that there is a SECURE, snug fit betwen the heater plug and wall outlet.
Consider REPLACING old heaters with newer models that have enhanced safety features.
MONITOR appliances that are using the same outlet. Too many may cause overloaded circuits.
INSPECT portable heaters for cracks, frayed wiring or loose connections. Discontinue use if an issue is found.
