How to clean a diffuser

8 Simple Steps to Clean Your Essential Oil Diffuser

• ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR DIFFUSER IS UNPLUGGED FROM ITS POWER OUTLET BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT ***

1. Fill your diffuser with clean water of the proper amount. Make sure it is below the max line.
2. Add pure white vinegar into the container, the vinegar needs to be up to 10 drops. By this method, it will help you in removing the oils that are stuck inside the diffuser.
3. Let the diffuser run for several minutes. During the operation, the water-vinegar mixture begins to disperse throughout the diffuser and clean it.
4. Drain the diffuser completely.
5. Using a piece of cotton slightly dipped in vinegar. Then use that cotton to clean blurs on the tight spots and corners of your diffuser.

Make sure that no spots are left dirty.

1. Rinse with clean water.
2. Make the diffuser empty again.
3. Use a dry cloth, or other similar materials to wipe the diffuser and dry it thoroughly.

Please note that some people told me that using vinegar to clean the diffuser makes their diffuser warranty invalid – especially for young living diffusers. If your product is still under warranty, it’s best to call your brand or product vendor’s customer service first and then try any home remedies to clean your product. Also, some diffusers also give you specific cleaning instructions in their manuals. Please refer to these methods before starting my general cleaning technique stated above.

Two principles when using your essential oil diffuser:

1. routine maintenance

It is vitally important. While this may be a challenge at first, you’ll get used to the process of cleaning the diffuser and maintaining it yourself, rather than paying someone else to do it for you or watching the diffuser to crash and have to pay the replacement cost.

It’s an incredible hassle to bring or send back a diffuser just to clean it up, and it becomes a bigger problem if the diffuser breaks down just because you haven’t cleaned it well.

2. Please read your aromatherapy product manual before use.

The exact cleaning recommendations and procedures will depend on the diffuser you are using. Before using it, please read your aromatherapy products manual quickly so that you know what you need to do to maintain the best performance of the product and the most effective aromatherapy effect.

After each use

Most manufacturer’s instructions will tell you to clean up your diffuser after each use, which may seem a bit excessive at first.

When I had my first diffuser device, I didn’t always do well either.

I just left a mixture of water and essential oils in a diffuser and think, "oh, I’ll do it again tomorrow."

Please don’t make the same mistake as I did before.

The essential oil used in the essential oil diffuser is kinda corrosive. In order to ensure the service life and maximize the effect of the essential oil, it should be cleaned after each use.

In addition, the smell and residue of previous oil may seriously lower your aromatherapy experience when you use another kind of oil in your diffuser.

Therefore, after each use, please empty all the water and oil in the diffuser and wipe quickly with a wet cloth, paper towel or some pieces of cotton.
