Disinfecting Steps
If your baby’s humidifier is not working, it’s important to take the necessary steps to disinfect it. Follow these simple steps:
1. Turn off the humidifier and unplug it from the wall.
2. Wipe down the exterior of the humidifier with a damp cloth.
3. If your humidifier has a filter, remove it and clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse well and let dry.
4. Disinfect the humidifier by filling it with an appropriate disinfectant solution (see chart below). Do not use regular household bleach, chlorine bleach, or any strong-odored disinfectants; these can be harmful to infants and children. Use a diluted household cleaner such as Windex or Lemon-Lime Kleenex instead. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for using the disinfectant solution.
5. Replace the filter if your humidifier has one.
