The Homedics humidifier leaves white dust on nearby furniture.

Safety: This is not an electrical hazard but can affect air quality.

Steps to reduce white dust:

• Use distilled or demineralized water: Switch from hard tap water to distilled water to greatly reduce mineral output.
• Install or replace cartridge: If your Homedics model supports it, install a new Homedics demineralization cartridge in the tank. Replace it at the interval recommended in the manual.
• Clean surfaces: Wipe nearby surfaces regularly to remove existing dust.
