  2. Lift the steam unit from the vaporizer and set it aside. Pour out the water and wash out the container. Dry it with a clean cloth. Soak the steam unit in a small bowl filled with 4 inches of white vinegar for 10 minutes.

  3. Place your finger on the bottom of the steam unit. Fill the steam unit with warm water and shake the steam unit. Remove your finger from the bottom of the steam unit to empty the water.

  4. Fill the water container with cool tap water to the line inside of the container, and then add four pinches of salt to the water.

  5. Place the steam unit back into the vaporizer, and hold down the steam unit for 10 seconds.
