CLEANING YOUR DIFFUSER FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

Cleaning Your Diffuser for Optimal Performance

Regular cleaning keeps your waterless diffuser working smoothly and makes sure every fragrance smells exactly as it should, without residue or build-up from previous oils.

Why Cleaning Your Diffuser Matters

  • Keeps scents true: Leftover oil can mix with a new fragrance and dull it.
  • Prevents blockages: Build-up in the fine nozzles can reduce output or stop the diffuser working.
  • Extends lifespan: A well-maintained diffuser lasts longer.

How Often Should You Clean It?

If you use your diffuser daily, clean it thoroughly every three months. For occasional use, every six months is usually enough. Always clean it when switching to a very different fragrance.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

  1. Switch off and unplug: Always turn the diffuser off and disconnect the power first.
  2. Remove the oil bottle: Take out the bottle and pour any remaining oil back into its original container.
  3. Run a cleaning cycle: Fill the bottle with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and run the diffuser for the time recommended in your user guide. Do this in a well-ventilated room, away from naked flames, heaters and sources of ignition, as isopropyl alcohol is flammable.
  4. Wipe gently: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the bottle neck and atomisation core, paying attention to areas where residue collects.
  5. Dry completely: Let all parts air-dry fully before refitting the bottle and refilling.

Tips for Preventing Build-Up

  • Use the right oils: Use fragrance oils formulated for waterless diffusers. Thick oils or carrier oils can clog the mechanism.
  • One scent at a time: Avoid mixing fragrances in the same bottle.
  • Don't overfill: Fill the bottle only to the recommended level.
  • Store correctly: When not in use, keep the diffuser somewhere cool and dry.

Conclusion

A few minutes of cleaning every few months keeps your diffuser performing at its best and your fragrances smelling exactly as they should.

Keep fragrance oils and cleaning products out of reach of children and pets.
