Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier work?
The Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier operates by heating water to produce steam vapor. This steam mixes with dry air in the mist chimney, releasing warm, moist air into your room to help alleviate cough and congestion symptoms.
How do I clean and maintain my Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier?
Regular cleaning is essential to ensure optimal performance and hygiene. Weekly maintenance involves descaling and disinfecting:
Descaling: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water. Fill the heating chamber with undiluted white vinegar, let it soak for 20 minutes, then gently scrub to remove mineral deposits.
Disinfecting: After descaling, rinse all parts thoroughly. Mix a solution of ½ teaspoon bleach with ½ gallon of water, fill the water tank, and let it sit for 20 minutes. Rinse until the bleach smell dissipates.
Additionally, the medicine cup, removable tray, and mist chimney are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack and run a light or normal cycle without detergent.
Can I use essential oils or inhalants with this humidifier?
Yes, the Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier is designed for use with Vicks VapoSteam or other recommended liquid inhalants. Add 1 tablespoon of the inhalant to the medicine cup.

What safety precautions should I follow when using the humidifier?
Place the humidifier on a firm, level, water-resistant surface at least 12 inches away from walls, furniture, and bedding. Ensure it's out of reach of children and pets, as the unit emits hot steam.
