Cleaning your diffuser is important, since oil residue can build up on the inside, affecting how well it works. Your diffuser care routine should include a quick clean after each use and a monthly deep clean.
These tips will show you how to clean your diffuser quickly and easily, so you can get back to filling the room with all the yummy aromas!
Quick Clean after each use:
- Turn off and unplug your diffuser
- Dump out any remaining water, being careful to not allow any liquid to go towards the electrical area of the diffuser
- Using a damp rag or soft cloth, wipe out the diffuser
- Fill with water and oils and you're ready to go.
Monthly Deep Clean:
- Turn off and unplug your diffuser.
- Fill the water reservoir halfway to the fill line with filtered water.
- Run the diffuser in a well-ventilated area for up to 5 minutes
- Empty the diffuser.
- Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and clean the ultrasonic plate to remove any extra buildup.
- Rinse the reservoir with water; then wipe it clean and dry up excess water with a soft cloth.
- Add water and essential oils; then diffuse away!
Deep Cleaning - When diffuser isn't running as it should and it needs descaling from the mineral build-up. Try this!
- Turn off and unplug your diffuser.
- Fill the water reservoir halfway to the fill line with filtered water.
- Add 10 drops of vinegar to a diffuser and let this cleaning solution sit for about five minutes.
- Start your diffuser and let it run for a few minutes, then drain the water and vinegar mixture completely.
- Dip a cotton swab in vinegar, clean the nooks and crannies.
- Then rinse thoroughly (being extra careful of the all the electrical components) and dry the diffuser thoroughly. Repeat the process if some spots are still dirty, and rinse and dry with a clean cloth.
- You can also take a cotton swab and dip it in rubbing alcohol and wipe the ultrasonic plate. This ensures that you're cleaning all the old residue off the plate.
- Your diffuser will be extra clean and ready to add your favorite oils! Enjoy!
Important Safety Note: We want you to be safer than sorry!!! If you accidently got water on the electrical parts of your diffuser, Do not plug it in until you know that it is completely dried out. Unfortunetly, it may take a day or so to dry out!
Let’s get real here, the hardest part of any routine is staying consistent. Yet, as we all know, the more consistent we are, the easier it becomes. I feel this is especially true when it comes to using our oils and supplements. Once our routine is established, we automatically grab those healthy tools. So, if you are just beginning to establish your wellness routine or you are a seasoned oiler and summer events got you off track...that's ok!
Give yourself grace!
Whatever events have come between you and your consistency, forgive yourself and simply start again!
Here are some tips for using your oils and oil-infused products every day …

Whatever events have come between you and your consistency, forgive yourself and simply start again!
Here are some tips for using your oils and oil-infused products every day …
- Have your oils and supplements OUT and visible. If they are stored deep in a cluttered drawer they will be out of sight, out of mind. Keep them on a stand, a shelf, on a counter, wherever you will SEE them and use them.
- Label and/or organize your oils. Group them in similar colors or organize them alphabetically. You could even set them apart based on certain needs you have.
- Make rollers. Rollers provide a quick, convenient way to dilute your oils and have them ready for application whenever you or your family has a need.
- Pair your oils with other daily activities you’re already accustomed to. Set a roller by your toothbrush so you apply it every morning. Have a bottle of oil and a carafe of water sitting next to your diffuser on your bedside table so you don’t forget to diffuse at bedtime. Set rollers or sprays near the backdoor where you store your shoes or purse and use them on your way out.
- Set a reminder on your phone to remind yourself to take your supplement or use your oils. After a couple weeks you will find that you will automatically be grabbing your products, before the alarm goes off.
