Hi there !


HOW TO CLEAN YOUR ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER

Yes it's that TIME again !

Time to clean your essential oil diffuser.


I use my DIFFUSER every day.

It basically follows me around the house wherever I go.

In between essential oil shifts I give the inside of my diffuser a QUICK WIPE CLEAN with kitchen paper or a micro-fiber cloth and rinse the reservoir out with clean water.

And that's fine.

But my diffuser also needs an extra deep clean once in a while.

That gets rid of any of the unused essential oil left behind.


DIFFUSER DEEP CLEAN

You see, AS GREAT AS ESSENTIAL OILS ARE, they do leave behind residues.

These residues can slowly gum up your diffuser making it harder for the diffuser to do it's job: i.e to diffuse the aroma.

The left-behind residue from the last essential oil can also affect the aroma of the next oil you're diffusing and with that the aromatherapeutic benefits of the essential oils.

We don't want yesterdays energising lemon oil messing with the peaceful lavender meditation experience we have planned for today,  do we?. 

We want the best essential oil experience.

And we also want our diffuser-friend RUNNING IN PERFECT CONDITION for years to come !


HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S TIME TO CLEAN YOUR DIFFUSER?

Simple really.

Your diffuser will tell you when it's in need of some extra TLC.

First you'll notice that the aroma-diffusion is less effective than before.

And after a while you will hear a gentle rumbling sound coming from the diffuser and you'll know for sure it's time for a deep clean.

I use my diffuser every day and I deep clean it about once a month.


10 MINUTES, PURE WHITE VINEGAR & a Q-TIP.

Cleaning isn't a big deal really.

All you need is 10 minutes, pure white vinegar and a Q-tip.


CLEAN YOUR DIFFUSER IN JUST 8 EASY STEPS

Here are the 8 simple steps:

1. Turn off your diffuser.

2. Fill the water reservoir halfway to the line with clean water.

3. Add 10 drops of pure white vinegar to the water reservoir.

4. Turn the diffuser on and let it run for 3-5 minutes, allowing the vinegar to disperse throughout. Best to do this in a space where the strong vinegar smell won't bother you.

5. Then empty the water reservoir completely.

6. Dip a Q-tip in white vinegar and wipe down the edges of the water reservoir as well as the ultrasonic mist chip.

7. Rinse the water reservoir with clean water.

8. Wipe the reservoir with a dry cloth and let it air dry before using it again.


And that's all there is to it. 

In just 8 EASY STEPS your diffuser is as good as new !

And the diffuser will give you the best essential oil aromatherapy experience again !
