It\u2019s lovely to have a diffuser running at home with your favourite scent! It\u2019s a really lovely way to use essential oils. But over time, you\u2019ll notice some residue from the oily oils left on the inside of the diffuser. You\u2019ll notice this quite quickly, especially with frequent use, and certainly when using the thicker, syrupy oils. But how do you diffuser<\/a> Make sure you clean and look after it properly so that your diffuser lasts a long time! Cleaning your diffuser. In this blog, you\u2019ll find plenty of tips to help you get the most out of your diffuser \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps your diffuser is giving off a lovely mist every day, but did you know that you should also give it a quick clean every day? Cleaning your diffuser. It sounds like a bit of a chore, but it\u2019s actually not that bad at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After use, unplug the diffuser from the socket and, if necessary, pour out any remaining water from the diffuser. Dry the inside of the diffuser with a clean, dry cotton cloth. Alternatively, use a piece of kitchen roll. Take care not to damage the ultrasonic chip at the bottom centre of the diffuser. This is very sensitive, so clean it gently with the cloth without applying too much pressure. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Monthly maintenance of your diffuser<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you use the diffuser every day, it might be a good idea to give it a clean a bit more often. Twice a month is certainly not an unnecessary luxury \ud83d\ude0a. But with \u2018normal\u2019 use, you can give the diffusers in your home a thorough clean once a month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning the diffuser<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u21e2 Fill the diffuser with lukewarm tap water.
\u21e2 Next, add a small splash of cleaning vinegar. This will dissolve any residual oil and also descale the diffuser straight away. You may wish to use cooled boiled water.
\u21e2 Switch on the diffuser for about 30 minutes. It\u2019s best to do this outside when the weather\u2019s nice, because of the smell of the cleaning vinegar. Otherwise, switch on the diffuser under the extractor hood. Do make sure the diffuser is standing firmly and upright. If necessary, place a small chopping board underneath it to ensure it doesn\u2019t tip over.
\u21e2 After 30 minutes, switch the diffuser off again and unplug it from the socket. Pour any remaining water out of the diffuser. Take care to pour it out on the correct side. In our bamboo diffuser, this is indicated on the inside with a red arrow. This ensures that no water runs down the diffuser and into the buttons.
\u21e2 If necessary, use a cotton bud to gently clean the edges and the chip. If needed, dip the cotton bud briefly in undiluted white vinegar to tackle stubborn and dirty patches.
\u21e2 Now fill the diffuser with lukewarm water and leave it on for another 15 minutes.
\u21e2 Next, pour the remaining water out of the diffuser and dry the inside thoroughly with a clean, dry cotton cloth.
\u21e2 Give the outside of the diffuser and the cover a quick wipe with a cloth to freshen them up.
\u21e2 There is a small air vent at the bottom of the diffuser. This is how the diffuser draws in fresh air. But, of course, dust also ends up in the vent. You can remove this by briefly running the hoover on a gentle setting over the grille. Using a handheld hoover is particularly handy! It\u2019s a good idea to remove the dust a bit more often by simply blowing into the grille once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
