How to Remove Limescale from a Humidifier: Cleaning Methods
Overview
Using tap water long-term causes limescale (mainly calcium and magnesium carbonate) to build up on the tank, atomizer, and basin, hurting mist efficiency and breeding bacteria. Soaking in white vinegar or citric acid regularly removes it and keeps the humidifier clean and misting well.
| Part to Clean | Method | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Tank | Soak in white vinegar or citric acid, then scrub | Weekly |
| Atomizer | Wipe gently with a soft cloth dipped in vinegar | Every 2 weeks |
| Basin | Soak in citric acid, then rinse | Monthly |
