Have you ever thought about how cleaning your humidifier works? Cleaning your humidifier can be hugely important, but many people overlook this until their humidifier begins to get a little smelly or inefficient. However, there are ways you can take a more proactive approach, which can help improve the quality of your home’s air and simultaneously cut back on the amount of work involved with cleaning your humidifier.



Can You Stop Bacteria Growth in Your Humidifier?


Before we go any further, it’s first important to clarify: can you stop bacteria growth in your humidifier device? Absolutely! While this might seem like a faff, there are a few ways you can make sure your humidifier use doesn’t result in bacteria and pathogens being pumped out into your home.

3 Simple Ways to Kill Bacteria in Your Humidifier


If you’ve been looking to kill bacteria in your humidifier, there are several options for what you can add that may help.


Always Add Fresh Water Daily

If you’ve been wondering about things to add to your humidifier to stop bacteria growth, one of the most obvious options is simple: make sure you add new water daily, and change out any stagnant water. Indeed, old water can cause bacterial growth, so it’s crucial to switch the water in your humidifier daily.


Use Specialist Humidifier Cleansers

Did you know that you can get specific antimicrobial treatments that can be added to your humidifier device? Going forward, these can make a massive difference to your overall cleaning efforts! Antimicrobial treatments can potentially be added directly to the water in your humidifier.


It’s also worth noting here that some humidifiers come with built-in antimicrobial features or filters designed to inhibit bacterial growth. As such, when buying a humidifier, ideally, look out for these to inform your decision.


Add White Vinegar

Another potential option you may want to consider when it comes to your humidifier is white vinegar. Indeed, as a natural and readily-accessible cleansing agent, white vinegar contains acetic acid, which is highly effective for managing bacteria in many cases.


Try Tea Tree Oil

Did you know that tea tree oil can effectively manage bacteria and other such pathogens? Tea tree essential oils can be especially useful when added to the water in your humidifier - although it may be important to take care so as not to use them all too often!


Avoid Harsh Cleaning Agents

While it’s crucial to keep your humidifier clean, avoid using harsh cleaning agents or bleach, as they can leave residue that may be harmful when inhaled. Stick to mild and natural cleaning solutions or consult the manufacturer’s instructions for recommended cleaning agents.
