Breathing can be such misery when you have a cold, the flu, or sinus problems. Vicks Cool Mist humidifiers are designed to help provide temporary relief and soothe cough and congestion. These humidifiers use special filters designed to remove dust, pollen, smoke, and other odors and contaminants during operation. With use, the filters become dirty and require changing. But changing the filters alone won't keep your Cool Mist hygienic. Scale from hard water and other contaminants can clog the humidifier, and microorganisms -- especially germs and bacteria -- can grow inside the humidifier. Keep your Cool Mist clean, and yourself feeling better by performing regular maintenance. Show Daily Cleaning
