Humidifier produces a white dust on nearby surfaces.

Safety first: Unplug before installing cartridges or cleaning.

• Switch to distilled water: Use distilled or demineralized water to greatly reduce mineral output.
• Install demineralization cartridge: If your Vicks model supports it, install a compatible demineralization cartridge in the tank to capture minerals.
• Relocate unit: Place the humidifier on a raised surface away from electronics and dark furniture to minimize visible dust accumulation.
• Clean surfaces: Wipe affected surfaces with a damp cloth regularly until the issue is resolved.
