If you want to save some money simply take out the filters and soak them in white vinegar and some hot water for about 15 minutes (or longer if very dirty). You will hear some fizzing from the chemical reaction (like if you put vinegar and baking soda together). Then...presto! It was clean like new!

You don't need it. I bought a Sunbeam SCM2401 table top humidifier at a local store. It worked fine for 3 days, then the little filter meter became pinned at the "Change" side, showing that the filter wick was dirty, and the humidity in my room was only 20%. Sure enough, the wick was totally dry, and there was a line of rust at the water line. So I washed the wick under running water, and scrubbed it with a brush. That restored it for only a few hours. OK, so I'll just buy a replacement wick. What?!! $6 and up? For a piece of cotton? The whole humidifier only cost $18! I lived in my dry apartment for several days, and then had an idea: Paper towels are very absorbent. What if I took 2 squares of paper towel and folded them around the old wick, like a U-shaped sandwich, so that the paper towel dipped under the water level and up the sides? This worked, and has kept working for 4 days now. The paper towel AND the wick now stay completely soaked, the little meter is happily in the "Good" zone, and my room humidity is a comfortable 38% (it's winter, and the humidifier is on MAX). When the paper towel gets rusty, I can just replace it for a few cents. Cheap, convenient, and "green"!
