Can't directly answer your question but will say that we have had our unit for several months and always use distilled water. It's a little expensive but we haven't any dust! 3rd

I have 2 humidifiers and used both these upon arrival about 3 weeks ago. So far no "white dust". However we also have a whole house water filtration system which may help also. These are way easier than using the bottled treatment and the humidifier and wick are staying much cleaner.

Ours does too but it is salt so if you're using it for deco, I'd try to wipe it with a wet paper towel to see if you can get the surface spots off. We use it more for feng shui in my sons room for his respiratory problems.

What may appear as white dust may be from the water source that has dried. The water in the area that I had to use in the unit also left a similar residue, but it is not harmful. It has to do with the area having hard water and me not choosing to use distilled water for the unit. If you are extremely concerned and financially capable, you may choose to try distilled water, change your filter, run bleach through the system and see if the effect is still noticed.

Hello Virginia, I moved before having to clean it but would use my vacuum brush on it periodically so the dust wouldn't build up. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

I wouldn't say it cleans. I have it in my bedroom to catch airborne particles that I'm allergic to, such as pollen and cat dander. I think it would be expecting too much for it to protect the entire living area.

I've got 2 of these and my house is still very dusty, despite bi-weekly professional cleaning. I do know that the germguardian does help, since it's filters get filthly as well and need frequent cleaning themselves. But you shouldn't count on it to keep your house dust-free.

The smell was not bad on mine, but if it were, I would wipe it down with a solution of 3:1 white vinegar and water. Hope this helps.

Well I usually use the type of wallpaper that you apply paste/glue to the wsll... This is the kind that you wet .. it is sloppy and was hard for me as I have never used wet wallpaper before ... Also you have to make sure the wall underneath is white or a light color .. half my tan colored wall patched with white paint so figured I would just wallpaper over it .. I realized once I put it on you can see through .. But now that it's up and dry its not really noticeable unless you point it out I get alot of compliments and I love it !! .. But to answer your question .. This wallpaper has to be applied wet .. And don't know how hard it is to remove. But looks fantastic!

It is my understanding that silk is naturally resistant to dust mites. Hopefully some others can chime in to verify this. I'm shopping for anti-allergy bedding myself so I'd also like clarification!

No. When I looked through it on the outside I see white...and its blurry and grainy.

white dust is probably referring to mineral deposits, if this is the case then it's the fact that you have hard water that causes this and not the humidifier.

I use Dust Off Electronic Duster. I read the previous advice about not eating at your computer. OH, PLEASE! What reality do they live in? Seriously, crumbs, cat hair, real dust all blow out with my method. We live at our computers. Must handle life ;-)

This is what the manufacturer says on their FAQ's about the white dust: Why is there white dust on my furniture? If water is especially hard or has a high mineral content, you may notice white dust around the unit. White dust is not a problem it is from the minerals in the water that form the dust. The humidifier evaporates the water and then the white dust is left in the unit, not sent out into the air. If bothersome, use distilled water or you can purchase one of our Decalcification Filters (FLTDC) to help with the problem. I personally do not have this issue.
