This is a bottle of citric acid (the stuff that makes lemons sour) with a wetting agent that helps dissolve the minerals (scale, calcium carbonate) that deposit on the evaporator (the moving white plastic finned drum) of the AIRWASHER. Simply fill the bottom housing with fresh water, pour the entire contents (8 oz), turn to low setting; after 2 hours, dump out the water that now has loosened scale, wipe any remaining scale and don't forget to get the stuff on the bottom of the fan. No smell like the vinegar I used to use. Not harsh like "lime-away" bathroom cleaners. Our local water is hard and during the summer, molds (black and red) can bloom.

This product was listed as frequently being bought along with things like the demineralization cartridge for the Venta Ultrasonic VS-205 and VS-207 Humidifiers. When I received it, the labelling says specifically that it is NOT for ultrasonic humidifiers. It would cost about as much to ship it back as it cost, so I am stuck with it and hopefully will find some use for it someday.

This is the first time we have used the Airwasher on our Venta Humidifier and it did a good job of cleaning out the accumulated grime. Unfortunately it is not usabled on the motor blades and it is difficult to use an old toothbrush to scrape off the grime on the fan blades. But the product did the job it was supposed to do.

I use it once at the end of every season and does a wonderful job. I use half the bottle to soak the dish in hot water. The other half I use it to run the humidifier for 2 hours afterwards

A little pricey for a small amount of product but Venta products work great. I sold my Airwashers when I moved from the north to the south and then purchased new ones when I moved back. Beautifully engineered and the cleaner keeps them working properly.

This cleaner is for an air-cleaner, not a humidifyer although it was listed as something that should be purchased with an order for a humidifyer filter.

I haven't used the product yet but I just read the box and realized that the entire bottle is for just one time cleaning. (Should have read the description) It's hard to justify the price for this simple solvent and I'm compeled to find other ways to clean the contraption if I want to clean it regularly during the winter season.
