The most common way of using Young Living Essential Oils for beginners is via a diffuser. It is the easiest way to get started, pick a fun oil, add water, turn it on, and the powerful scents waft through your house in seconds. Unfortunately a part of this use that we often overlook is keeping the hardware clean.
There are two types of diffuser systems and how to clean them is a little different.
For the Ultrasonic diffusers (Aria™, Rainstone™, Desert Mist™, Lantern, and other diffusers with an ultrasonic plate)
- Turn off and unplug the diffuser
- Wipe out the water reservoir with a wet cloth
- Get some rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab and get in touch with the ultrasonic plate to remove any build up
- Rinse out the reservoir with some water then wipe it clean and get all the excess water with a soft cloth
- Add your favourite essential oils, a splash of water, and make that house smell great again
For the Atomizer diffusers (AromaLux™ and other atomizers)
- Turn off and unplug the diffuser
- Rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs, use them on all areas of the diffuser
- Give it a minute or two to evaporate
- Add essential oils and make that house smell great again
