i question these cool mist humidifiors, i bought the vicks cool mist and finding it gives off a white film on everything. i thought it was the high clorine in the tap water, so i left a bucket of water out to sit and de-chlorine but it still looks like it gives off a white mist and dust's things with it. i signed up with the farm tonite for advice and found this thread. the cool mist discription says to clean once a week with bleach, then dry it, then clean with vinager. i havnt cleaned it since buying, 3 months ago.
i used the wick model (sponge) in the past and didnt have the white problem. they are old style now and only see the cool mist and warm mist's in the store. walmart, i didnt look on amazon.
