  • How to Clean an Essential Oil Diffuser
    It's important to regularly clean your diffuser if you want to keep it running properly and get a longer life out of it. If you don't, the oil residue can gunk up the inside of the diffuser and cause the motor and parts to fail or stop working properly.
    The vinegar method is what I have been using on mine and it seems to work pretty well. I plan to try other methods, but for now, this is how I'll continue to clean my diffusers.
    I do recommend reading your owner's manual and contacting the company if you have any issues or specific questions regarding your machine.

    Thanks for the video! I would also recommend that we should use distilled water in our diffusers. It would prevent the mineral build up inside the unit and extend the life of the diffuser. I have been using distilled water for years and my YL diffuser is over 10 years old. Thanks again !

      thanks for this comment! when i start using my diffusers i’ll definitely have to do this because all of the ones i’ve used so far tend to break very quickly and where i am in jersey is pretty nasty. again, thank you!

    I soaked mine in water with a chlorine tablet (the top of it because it was covered in mould 🤮) it disinfected it soo well because within 5 minutes my diffuser was crystal clean lol. Just make sure you rinse it out extremely well after so the chlorine smell doesn’t linger around. I do like this cleaning method i’ll probably use it on a daily as I use my diffuser everyday :).
    Thanks for the video!!

    I have a new diffuser that I've tried cleaning after just 3 uses and I still can't get rid of the oil's lingering odor. Those heavier/thicker base oils like Sandalwood and Rose are stubborn to fully neutralize but at least they're pleasant enough to smell after the top notes evaporate.

      alcohol kills bacteria really well, but it doesn't break up mineral deposits as well as the acid in vinegar.

    • @lynnt4553
      @lynnt4553 4 роки тому

      Vinegar odour dissipates quickly. I even put small glass containers around my house with vinegar to help clear odours (ie. animals, cooking, smoking etc.). It's one of the best cleaners ever as no harmful chemicals.

    This video is not following the instructions that came with that EXACT diffuser at all. Adding all that water will dilute the vinegar too much. You're supposed to add 100ml WARM water (up to 70 degrees Celsius) with 2-3 DROPS of vinegar and then "leave the diffuser for 3 to 5 minutes." IDK if it's supposed to be on or off. I followed the instructions with just 2-3 drops and warm water. What you're using seems like too much vinegar to me, but what do I know?

    Can someone help me?
    I've had my diffuser for a long time. Never had any odor problems from essential oils.
    I bought an essential oil (more specifically it's called SANTAL) and it stinks. I bought it based on all of the positive influencers on YT saying how great this essential oil smell is. Supposed to smell like an expensive hotel. I have no clue what that is supposed to be but I took a chance anyway.
    I can't stand the Santal scent. I thought cutting it with something else would help. YUCK!
    I've cut the scent with oils like Vanilla and Cinnamon and it just always overpowers everything. It's very cloying.
    Needless to say I've cleaned and run the diffuser with Vinegar, Rubbing Alcohol, Dawn Dish Soap, Dawn Power Wash. Nothing will get rid of that Santal scent. It's embedded in there. Every other essential oil that I've ever used previously has never left an unwanted scent.
    Anyone got any ideas? I'm about ready to heave the diffuser.
