How to Remove Scale From a Vicks Kaz Humidifier

There are times when illness or dry weather conditions call for the use of a humidifier. The Vicks Kaz humidifier emits warm mist into the air with the addition of Vicks VapoSteam-infused moisture. The Vicks vapors help clear nasal passages and provide relief from congestion, while the warm steam increases the moisture level of the air. Similar to other small appliances, your Vicks Kaz humidifier requires regular cleaning to keep it running at top performance. You must clean your humidifier on a weekly basis to remove mineral deposits and prevent limescale from affecting the performance of your humidifier.

  Fill a bucket halfway with white vinegar. Add warm water to fill the remainder of the bucket. Place the water tray in the bucket and allow it to soak for 20 minutes to remove limescale and mineral deposits. Pour the vinegar out, rinse the water tray with water and dry it with a clean cloth.

  White vinegar effectively removes limescale and mineral deposits.
  
  Pour full-strength vinegar into the heating chamber until it's full. Allow the vinegar to remain in the heating chamber for 20 minutes. Empty almost all of the vinegar out of the heating chamber, leaving enough to wipe the inside with. Wet a clean cloth with the remaining vinegar and wipe inside the heating chamber to remove loosened mineral deposits.
