Re Part the First: I know humidifier instructions say to wash after every use but my experience, have run years' worth (several at a time, full time, for 3-5 winter months, for years), is that washing & disinfecting once every 2-4 weeks (depending on room circumstances) was fine to prevent muck from growing.
Re Part the Second: A. Cold water *rinse.* B. At least you discovered this heading into summer. A spot of cold water can feel very nice during summer's heat. During January... not so much.
