Clean your Essential Oil Diffuser – How To

Essential Oils Diffusers break down the essential oils into small particles and diffuse them in the environment to purify the air. In addition to this, you can enjoy the benefits of your favorite essential oil. Over time, your aroma diffuser can buildup oil particles in the diffuser, which can decrease the performance and life of your essential oil diffuser. Therefore, it is necessary to do a proper cleanup of your essential oil diffuser after you have used it.

The recommended time frame for a normal cleanup is after you have used the diffuser 5-6 times and the time frame for major cleanup is once a month or twice. It depends on your usage as well. If you are a heavy user, you may need to do a full cleanup of the diffuser after two weeks.
