**How long can I diffuse at a time?**
Honestly, we've got diffusers running in our home almost all the time! In big open spaces, we don't sweat the clock—just let it run. When bedtime rolls around, we switch to the intermittent setting and let it go all night. For rooms with closed doors, like the kids' bedrooms, we just add fewer drops and again, use the intermittent mode. It’s super chill—don’t overthink it!
**How many drops do I use?**
This totally depends on your diffuser. Bigger spaces need more drops. Here’s the lowdown on a few Young Living diffusers:
- Duet Diffuser: No water needed—just pop in your chosen oil bottles!
- Aria Diffuser: 15-25 drops; perfect for around 430 sq. ft.
- Desert Mist Diffuser: 8-12 drops; covers about 320 sq. ft.
- DewDrop and Rainstone Diffusers: 5–8 drops; ideal for roughly 320 sq. ft.
- Sprout the Puppy Diffuser: 8-20 drops
**Do I need to clean my diffuser?**
Yes,, to keep things running smoothly, a little cleaning helps! For the Aria, Young Living suggests wiping it down after each use with a clean, dry cloth and giving the glass bowl a wash either by hand or in the dishwasher as needed. For other diffusers:
- Clean the ultrasonic plate and lid after each use.
- If oil builds up on the plate, gently wipe it with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
- For the lid, a mild soap and water cleaning should do the trick.
**Diffuser Settings**
Did you know you can change the light colors and even turn them off on your diffusers? Plus, the kids' diffusers can double as sound machines! Just press the left button to cycle through the light options. Most diffusers also have 1-2 intermittent modes—just hit the right button to explore these options. It’s one of our favorite ways to enjoy oils while catching some Zs.
