My humidifier that goes into the heating duct wasn't working, and all
that seems wrong is that the inlet screen is clogged. I couldn't get
the whole thing apart, so I have a little bigger part soaking in wine
vinegar! Is that as good as white vinegar?

**(I don't know how since I barely cook. Must have been to dissolve
something else.)


The main ingredient of any vinegar is acetic acid
and white vinegar is just dilute acetic acid so it
is cheaper that the fermented product (wine or
apple cider vinegar).
Depending on your deposits, vinegar may work
poorly or very slowly. Try using CLR, if the
vinegar doesn't do the job.
