@bruse wayne Bleach mixed with an acid such as vinegar creates chlorine gas, which can be deadly if inhaled in high amounts.

[@azlannakamoto7913]

Nah its fine, you should first dilute the bleach then mix it with distilled vinegar this will give you HOCL very good disinfect and pretty safe. the goal is ph5 and around 200ppm chlorine

Great Point! I am still recovering from an unfortunate cleaning "incident" at my Mum's house four nights ago. I was in a hurry to get the job done- covered the shower, toilet & jacuzzi with a decent amount of bathroom bleach spray. I figured I'd let the bleach "do it's job" and so turned my attention to some sink stains- I followed the directions on the bottle of cleaner I had specially picked up at the store- (totally not checking the ingredients first)...I ran some hot water first- added about 3-4 tablespoons of the cleaner on a sponge and applied to the stained portions. I realized I had forgotten paper towels- so I ran downstairs to grab a roll - probably took 3-4 minutes. When I returned to the bathroom- I noticed a sort of haze hanging around the sink area- (still not realizing that the stain-remover was mainly ammonia) I think my first thought was OMG it's eating away at the porcelain- probably left it sitting too long! So I quickly turned the water full blast to Hot- and soon steam was adding to the vaporous chemical cloud. I think it was only 10-15 seconds until I found my lungs begin to burn- then seize....like I couldn't get any air in...the burning in my throat followed next. I ran out into the bedroom area and ran to the open window about 10 feet away. My Mum rushed me to the ER- where I was immediately checked-in and treated for (Acute) Chloramine Toxicity. I was kept under "Observation" for 36 hours- within 24 hours a rash started to spread on my left arm and flank, entire chest and stomach areas. I am recovering at home presently- the rash has progressed to yellowish crusty- blisters but (thankfully) no new areas have "erupted". I am lucky to be here- typing this post. I encourage everyone to: READ & UNDERSTAND the LABELS on every CLEANER and CHEMICAL that enters your home and work area. It's not a joke, it's definitely not something to be minimized or encouraging others not to worry (about). I am willing to "take the fall" as a fool by any who choose to dish it out. If I save at least one other person from repeating the same mistake- it's totally worth being called any name in the book!

Ah .. finally a humidifier cleaning practise that makes sense !! ! Very practical approach as most videos are using a whole cup of vinegar . I follow your recipe .. only a few TBSP in the water and rinse. This makes it economical and easy to do. I still am only doing this bi -weekly or monthly .. Thanks so much !!

Was monthly okay for you ?

Do NOT use bleach!! Cool mist humidifiers aerosolise the water into droplets that are the perfect size to be inhaled deep into the lungs.

[@louisrios5546]

That's dangerous -- any remaining drops vinegar that get mixed with the bleach will turn into a very harmful chlorine gas.

Thanks so much for this video. I, too, have a Crane and i never cleaned it. It didn't seem to put out much moisture so i just stopped using it. Problem is, I neglected the fact that water was actually still in the water basin. The water basin had green mold/algae in it. The base (internal water area) had mold as well. I wasn't sure this would work. As instructed, I used the hottest water possible. Then I added two TBSP of white distilled vinegar and did the same with the base. I shook the water basin and let them sit, as instructed. Once done, I used a toothbrush and scrubbed the areas i could reach (externally) where there was mold. The reservoir had a great deal of the mold/algae gone but there was still some on the edges. I opened the water basin and added two tbsp of bleach to the water/vinegar solution and shook rapidly again. Let sit for 30 more minutes. BINGO!!!! All gone. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. To ensure there wasn't any toxic bleach residue, I repeated the white vinegar step to balance the neutrality of the water basin. Rinse thoroughly... Enjoy. Thank you again. I was about to throw it away altogether. Thanks to you, I don't have to. Cheers!
