Hi NrG3! Thank you for reaching out to Holmes&reg;️. We understand that you want to know how to clean your humidifier's tank tube, we are more than happy to help. To clean the tank tube, you may follow the same regular steps on cleaning the humidifier. 1. Fill humidifier tank 1/2 full with water and 1/2 tablespoon of chlorine bleach. 2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes, swishing every few minutes. Wet all surfaces. 3. Carefully empty the tank after 20 minutes, and rinse with warm water until you can not detect any bleach smell. Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. 4. Refill the water tank, and turn the unit on. We hope this helps you in cleaning the tank tube. Have a great day!
