Hello!

I’m wondering what is the best way to clean and completely drain a Vaporiser. The inside gets slimy and water always remains. Why can’t it be opened to be cleaned properly? Taav brand in particular. What is the best way to clean a vaporiser?

  • Good topic! There are some really interesting comments on this!


  • Wipe it out with vinegar is how i do it


  • I have the Vicks one & I find sediment in it. Now having read this post I will try soaking it in vinegar


  • You would think that the water reservoir would be removable and dish washable, but you could maybe try rinsing it with a vinegar and bicarbonate mix then leaving it to air?


  • I would also ask the chemist on how to clean it.


  • try asking at the place you bought it


  • It’s a job for vinegar and bicarb again. Just make sure you rinse well after you get the slime out then let dry completely.


  • I would ask the chemist or google it.


  • there are some good comments here


  • Have you tried Nature Direct? You could soak some heavy duty cleaner in it and then wash out – and it’s totally non toxic. Good luck!


  • Some good advice there below.


  • Contact the manufacturer and ask for advice?


  • Ask at the chemist – as they sell them they may be able to advise on how to clean them


  • How did you end up cleaning it?


  • how did it turn out?


  • What did you end up using?


  • How did you end up cleaning it?


  • every time i use the vaporiser i use those little tablets you buy at the chemist, you just drop it in the water. Then i just give it a really good rinse out and make sure its completely air dried (i normally leave it out for about 3 days to try completely) before packing it away in the box.


  • Hope some of the advice there has been helpful.


  • What did you end up choosing?
