It is recommended, assuming average use, to thoroughly clean weekly or when algae, mineral deposits, or other particles begin to form. If the humidifier is turned off with water in the base and not turned back on for 8 hours or longer, or if the humidifier is not cleaned as recommended, you may experience some growth of algae or bacteria. These microorganisms may become airborne.

5. Clean the water basin using a soft cloth or soft-tipped cotton swab, and rinse with clean tap water. Do NOT submerge the base in water.
6. Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth if needed.
