I'm really having trouble keeping the base free from pink mold. I empty it out every other day and spray it with vinegar and it comes back. Tips?

I have never had pink mold but I used to have problems with white dust until I started using distilled water, as stated in the previous answer. I also put a few drops of tea tree oil in with the water.

That hasn't happened to me at all yet. I put filtered water in mine and have had absolutely no build up and I clean with vinegar about twice a week.

I have the same issue, and am looking for solutions. Obviously don't want to use chemicals in the air washer--so maybe white vinegar, to dissolve these deposits?

You might try spraying it with undilluted white vinegar and then putting them in the sun to dry. Depending on the amount of mold it may take more than one treatment. Afterwards I would soak them in water and let dry in the sun a few times to remove residual vinegar before using again.

I've had that problem....use some olive oil or pam spray( very lightly) on the inside of the top and side mold pieces.......the jello should come out much easier and not break up ...hope this helps. Gail

No I have not but try washing the stool with vinegar. That may keep the mold from returning

No - mine has been fine the entire time. My only complaint is the fungal build-up... have to use vinegar every few weeks to clean it out.

I have had mine for almost a year and I haven't noticed any mold. It does need to be cleaned out every so often, but I just spray it down with disinfectant and rinse it off. Comes clean every time.

Honestly I have never had to clean it. Im thinking a heavy duty degreaser or some type of acid base cleaner might do the trick. Maybe even bleach and let it soak. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Almost four years running nonstop and its still going strong.

Mine does the same thing. You can't return it to the store. There are signs all over it that say(DO NOT RETURN TO STORE. CONTACT so and so #, blah,blah,blah). I have mold all over mine now and am in the process of trying to get it clean, but I think my mold problem is on the inside, too because of the water that got caught in those areas of the inside. Wish me luck cause I have a feeling this is not gonna work and I'm not storing a moldy slide all winter. I would call the manufacturer while you still have time!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't noticed that. I have had mine for over a year. You might try running vinegar through it then lots of water.

I actually take some vinegar in a cup and put the steamer wand in it and let it set over night. That always seemed to help. I also clean it out with vinegar every other week and then followed by running water through it about three times.

I did not find a way to take it apart for cleaning... The best method I found was put to it in a jug of water with a bit of bleach and let it "dispense" the bleach solution. After repeating a few times, the odor went away but I'm not sure the mold did.

To remover the mold, use vinegar. I would just immerse each end in a dish of plain white vinegar and then wipe it clean. Or, you can use baking soda to clean the mold off. I don't know about putting it in the dishwasher, but I would not worry about that so long as you put it on the top rack. However, I think you will find that the vinegar and/or baking soda will work just fine.

It's probably mold. I'd try using a beach solution and let it stand for awhile.

I would recommend you pour straight vinegar nt the bottom of the unit and let it sit for 2 hoursThen put some water in the container and see if it turns onDo not empty the vinegar from the bottom let it run through Sort of like when you clean your coffee pot I do not use distiller water but I do regularly use the white vinegar Mine runs like a charm but it will shut down if residue builds up

I guess it would depend on how much mold and how covered, I would use soap and water with a abrasive brush or sponge, then I would use disinfectant wipes and thoroughly clean it. If it still doesn't come off after doing that two or three times, I'm not sure it would be wise to use it again.
