If the aroma diffuser has not just been bought new, all the vaporized essential oils will build up as greasy residue inside the device over time, which can lead to malfunctions during nebulization and bacteria can colonize. Depending on the location and spatial conditions, calcareous water or dust can also play a role in soiling. With regular cleaning, you can enjoy the pure scent of your various essential oils again. That's why we'll show you how to easily clean your aroma diffuser with vinegar - a product that everyone has at home.

1. which products are suitable for cleaning my aroma diffuser?
As you inhale the contents of the device, it is obviously not a good idea to use chemical universal cleaners for household surfaces. The best way to clean aroma diffusers is with vinegar cleaner. Another option is to use citric acid. Although citric acid sounds like a natural cleaning agent, it can also be the wrong choice under certain circumstances due to its high acid content. Simply observe the hazard symbols on the packaging.
It goes without saying that you should never use aggressive pipe cleaners. If there are no additional substances in the cleaning agent, vinegar and citric acid are a suitable way to neutralize your diffuser like a new appliance. If you don't have a suitable cleaning agent in the house, you can find countless manufacturers of organic cleaning agents in organic markets.
2 How do I clean the appliance?
The diffuser is of course first disconnected from the power supply and the liquid is poured out. If you want to be really precise, you can wipe the outer surfaces with a microfiber cloth and disinfectant to avoid possible damage to the paintwork caused by corrosive acids. Depending on the appliance, small, angled surfaces can be treated with brushes or pipe cleaners. The water tank can simply be wiped out with a sponge previously soaked in a natural cleaning agent (vinegar cleaner). Each of these procedures is followed by rinsing with clear water. If you have distilled water to hand, it is even easier to ensure that electronic parts are not damaged during cleaning.
3. which essential oils are the right ones for my aroma diffuser?
The number of suppliers is currently enormous, which means that it has long since become difficult to keep track of which oils are healthy and which are recommended for prolonged use in the device. The essential oils do not have to be expensive, but the focus is on their natural origin. Casida and Aromawelt.de as well as some other manufacturers offer natural variants for safe nebulization.
