Quickie question:

I've got TropicAire humidifiers on Freddie's, Kishnah's, and Oreo's homes. Judging by the appearance, it's time to clean (?) them. Do I need to? I'm thinking of using the chlorhexidine like I clean everything else, but I'm thinking that won't be potent enough for the plastic sponge piece. I know if I use bleach I'll have to rinse thoroughly and then let it aerate.

Are they sources of harmful bacteria? How often do they need to be cleaned?

SEARCH provides different % humidity threads, but nothing really pertaining to cleaning HUMIDIFIERS.


TIA for the help.
