I had commented in the last post about a new humidifier I had just bought that I was hoping would be much easier to clean. It is so much better than the Vicks humidifers that I have bought and tossed due to not being able to adequately clean the 100 tiny little vents that even a toothbrush can't reach. This one only has 1 vent that is removable to soak. After a week it still looks clean and not full of gross stuff like the other was even with soaking in bleach as often as was recommended. I picked this one up at target. I will probably end up gettting another one for downstairs. Lesson learned: avoid tiny little vents on top that accumulate water and dust. Three humidifiers in one year is a pricey lesson to learn.
