How to Clean a Essential Oil Diffuser

Sometimes, your diffuser needs a little extra deep cleaning, especially if you love sticking to one scent for a long time or, let’s be honest if you’ve accidentally left water sitting in it for too long. Here’s how to thoroughly clean it:

#1 Unplug and Empty: Safety first – ensure your diffuser is unplugged. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to empty any water.

#2 Vinegar Dispersal: Fill the diffuser halfway with clean water and add a teaspoon of white vinegar. Run the diffuser for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the vinegar to work its magic and clean out the system.

#3 Component Care: Remove any removable parts, like the mist vent, and wash them with warm water and gentle dish soap. Dry these pieces thoroughly.

#4 Reservoir Wipe-Down: With a cloth dampened in the water and vinegar solution, wipe down accessible surfaces inside the reservoir. Use a cotton swab dipped in vinegar for delicate misting chips and hard-to-reach places.

#5 Air Out: Let the whole system air dry. This helps with drying and allows any vinegar smell to fade away.
