I have a warm mist humidifier and I and wanting a natural solution to prevent lime buildup in the evaporation chamber. I don't want to use water filters or bottled water. I would like to be able to get water straight from tap and add something natural. I have thought about white vinegar in with the water but I don't know if the heating of it would make it bad to breath in. Another option I have thought of is powdered water softener from the laundry isle in the store but don't know if it would be harmful to use that in the warm mist humidifier. Any natural remedies would be helpful. Also any other better ways to remove it that is quick and effective and safe. I have found that ammonia works pretty good at removing the buildup but it is very potent smelling and bad to breath in while using it. Thanks for all your help
I wonder if this could be the one...it uses green food coloring: Key Lime-White Chocolate Cookies 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 1 egg 2 1/3 cups Original Bisquick? mix Green food color, if desired 1 package (6 ounces) white baking bars (white chocolate), cut into chunks 1 tablespoon grated lime peel 1. Heat oven to 350?F. Beat butter, sugars, vanilla and egg in large bowl with spoon until well mixed. Stir in Bisquick mix. Stir in 6 drops food color, white chocolate chunks and lime peel. 2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. 3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set but not brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
