I found the easiest way to clean the s-8 is to put in a cup of ground ice chips and two tablespoons of salt, plug the holes with the yellow stopper provided and shake for about a minute or so. It will be clean as new.
Cleaning S-8 humidifier
I have been using red wine vinegar but I will give your tip a try.
I put two tablespoons of red wine vinegar into the humidifier tank. Swish it around and let soak a few minutes. Then fill to the top with clean water and dump out about three or four times. It is then clean as new.

The problem with IGNORANCE is you don't know what it is that you don't know.
Use distilled H2O
Always use distilled H2O. It will keep your reservoir clean and shiny. You spend nearly $2 for a 16 oz. bottle of drinking water. Good grief, spend .99 cents for a gallon of distilled water.
