Diffusers create a pleasant, uplifting atmosphere with scents like Lavender, Cinnamon Bark, and Madagascar Vanilla. But over time, aromas can start to blend.
If yesterday’s Peppermint lingers while you’re diffusing citrus oils, it’s likely time to clean your diffuser. Frequent use leads to residue buildup, so regular cleaning helps prevent mixed scents.
Regular Cleaning
Twice a week:
- Turn off and unplug the diffuser.
- Pour out any extra water from the side opposite the air vent to prevent spilling.
- Clean the water tank and mist plate with a cotton cloth and a mild cleaner (like vinegar). Use a cotton swab to gently clean the tight spaces around the plate.
Deep Cleaning
Once a month:
- Fill the diffuser halfway with water and add 10 drops of white vinegar.
- Run for 5 minutes to clean the unit, then drain.
- Use a vinegar-dipped cotton swab for corners and tight spots.
- Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a cotton cloth.
