Pure Enrichment humidifier emits a strong musty or moldy odor when running.

Safety: Unplug the unit and remove the tank before cleaning. Avoid inhaling cleaning fumes directly.

• Disassemble for cleaning: Remove the tank, mist nozzle, and any detachable parts. Empty all water from the tank and base.
• Deep clean with vinegar: Fill the tank halfway with a 1:1 mixture of white vinegar and water. Swirl and let sit for 20–30 minutes. Pour some of this solution into the base reservoir as well.
• Scrub surfaces: Use a soft brush or cloth to scrub the inside of the tank, base, and mist outlet. Pay special attention to corners and seams where slime accumulates.
• Rinse thoroughly: Rinse all parts with clean water until the vinegar smell is minimal. Do not submerge the electrical base.
• Replace wicks or filters: If your Pure Enrichment model uses a wick or filter, replace it if it smells musty or shows discoloration.
• Prevent recurrence: Empty and dry the tank and base daily when in use, and perform a deep clean at least weekly. Use distilled water to reduce mineral and microbial growth.
