What's the best way to clean the lines? Also, do I need to clean the lines before I use it for the first time?

I have had this happen to me too. Take the lines apart and use a high power spray to clean the inside out.

I used cold water. Cleaning is done by pressure, so I don't think you will need hot water.

Hi, You usually would clean it with water and soap. Best regards, Customer service

The manual for cleaning is more complicated then it needs to be. I have found by just running warm water over the disconnected top and brushing the lower unit it has remained clean and sharp for the next use.

You need to washed. Put a small amount where you need it and massage that area for approx 3 mint or until it turns white like cleanser. Then rinse I usually use cold water.

I usually just breathe on it and then polish it of with a towel. Works great! If the kids were using it with jelly fingers *sigh* I use a damp cloth to clean it off (without any cleaner or soap).

I just run water through the hose and wash the out side of the mouth piece with warm water, maybe a little soap. Then hang it on something so it drys completely before I use it again.

The most I've ever done for mine is to make sure I rinse it thoroughly with hot water after each use, making sure that all of the cleanser that I used is rinsed out completely. After that, I squeeze it and hang it to dry. I also agree with the first poster that a mild soap or vinegar should work as well. Also, something to consider is that the bristles are supposed to be naturally antimicrobial according to the company. As a side note, I've also been wondering how often the brush should be replaced if anyone has any thoughts on that.

I normally do several gallons in a row myself and then I put soap, water and vinegar in the unit and let it sit for a few hours. This gets the canister clean and looking new. I also occasionally wipe out the build up with a paper towel between loads if its looking really bad.

A minimal amount of soap with water works fine after each use, followed by rinses with hot water. If you go a couple of fills without cleaning it, then I would suggest using straight vinegar. The follow with a few rinses of hot water.

I empty any excess water after using it. I wash the outside with dish soap and warm water, then dry with a microfiber towel. If necessary, use Cameo, a stainless steel cleanser.

Yes you can use a liner, that is what I do. I am not sure I understand the second part of the question. The only thing I did was prewash as directed.

It cleans ok. I sprayed with veg oil first. that helped. ring around the middle at the top of the liquid was a little harder to clean. wish I had ordered it with the non stick liner. still may do that yet. if you have the option, order with the non stick insert.

I have not cleaned mine yet because I am the only user. I wash and sanitize my hands and feet before I use it. Then I leave it on. If you need to clean it be sure to turn it off and allow the wax to harden in the container this makes it easy to remove the wax. Then I wipe the unit out with paper towel to remove any hard wax remaining in the unit. If the unit is really dirty, then be sure to clean it really good but do NOT immerse the unit in water.

Simply splash some white vinegar when you fill it up (about 1:10 ratio of vinegar:water), then turn it on full for a while, I usually just forget about it and take care of it at a later time. If there are iron stains from your water just wipe that up regularly. If you want precise directions the machine may have came with some. This is standard cleaning for all humidifiers.

Always do prep....clean with wire brush as best as possible....remove any oil or grease by cleaning with denatured alcohol or some comparable solvent
