How to Maintain a Diffuser For Long Lasting Performance

Like all other household things, diffusers also need your attention and love. It is crucial to maintain a diffuser properly to ensure its efficacy and long life. This blog will share some helpful maintenance tips to keep your diffuser clean and efficient.

Clean the Diffusers Regularly

The primary step to maintain a diffuser is to clean it regularly. Ideally, it should be cleaned lightly after every use and thoroughly once or twice a month. Routine cleaning can help prevent oil and mold buildup and ensure optimal fragrance diffusion.

Cleaning suggestions

• First, unplug the diffuser and empty the reservoir.
• For quick, routine cleaning, use a soft and damp cloth to wipe the inside of the reservoir.
• Use mild soap to clean the reservoir and mist vent for thorough cleaning. Wipe them down with a dry microfiber cloth and let them air dry before assembling them back.

Clean and Replace Ultrasonic Plates

Taking care of the ultrasonic plates is a fundamental step to maintaining a diffuser. Ultrasonic plates are made with sensitive materials and need proper maintenance. They convert the water and essential oil into a fine mist. Over several uses, they are likely to collect oil deposits and become less effective.

Cleaning suggestions

• Clean the ultrasonic plates with a lint-free or microfiber cloth to remove the grease buildup.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the plates.

Use Distilled Water for Optimal Performance

Household tap water is mineral-rich and contains impurities that can affect the diffuser’s performance over time. Use distilled water to maintain it properly. Distill or purified water will increase the lifespan of the diffuser by preventing any buildup and clogging.

Avoid Overfilling the Diffusers

Almost all the diffusers have a marked line to indicate maximum capacity. Overfilling the diffuser can disrupt its function and result in leaks and spills. Moreover, excessive water can dilute the essential oil and produce a weak aroma.

Use High-Quality Aroma Oils

Using a high-quality aroma oil is essential for the operational efficiency of a diffuser. Go for high-quality aroma oils to avoid any damage or blockage. Opt for our premium aroma oils to support the health and performance of the diffuser.

Other Maintenance Guidelines

• To increase the life span of the diffuser, turn it off when not in use.
• Keep the water levels in check to avoid potential damage to the ultrasonic plates and other internal components.
• Place the diffuser away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Refrain from leaving the water in the diffuser for too long to prevent bacteria and mold buildup.
• Replace the filters and ultrasonic plates when worn out to escape any malfunction.
