Diffuser 101
How often should you clean your diffuser?
03/22/2023
Ah, the joys of using a diffuser! It can be such a calming and relaxing experience to fill your home with the soothing scents of essential oils. But, as with any household appliance, using a diffuser also means you have to take care of it. And that means cleaning it regularly.
If you're a regular user of a diffuser, you know the drill. You fill it up with water and essential oils, turn it on, and enjoy the aromatic mist that fills the room. But after a while, you start to notice that the mist isn't as strong as it used to be, or maybe the scent has started to become a bit off. That's when you know it's time to clean your diffuser.
Cleaning a diffuser isn't difficult, but it can be time-consuming. You need to take it apart, wipe it down, and remove any residue or build-up that has accumulated over time. And if you're like me and use your diffuser every day, you may find yourself cleaning it more often than you'd like.
I have to admit, I've lost count of how many times I've had to clean my diffuser. It seems like every time I turn around, it needs to be cleaned again. But instead of getting frustrated, I've learned to embrace the cleaning process as part of my self-care routine.
There's something satisfying about taking the time to care for an object that brings you so much joy. And when you're finished cleaning your diffuser, it's like having a brand new appliance all over again. The mist is stronger, the scent is fresher, and everything just feels...better.
Of course, there are some tricks you can use to prolong the time between cleanings. One of the most important is to use high-quality essential oils. Cheaper oils often leave behind more residue, which means you'll have to clean your diffuser more frequently. By investing in quality oils, you can enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy without having to clean your diffuser quite as often.
Another tip is to clean your diffuser right after you use it. That way, the oils and water won't have a chance to dry out and leave behind build-up. And finally, make sure you're using your diffuser correctly. Over-filling it or leaving it on for too long can cause damage and lead to the need for more frequent cleanings.
In conclusion, cleaning your diffuser may be a hassle, but it's an essential part of using one. By embracing the cleaning process and taking the time to care for your diffuser, you'll ensure that it lasts longer and continues to bring you the benefits of aromatherapy for years to come. So don't be afraid to break out the cleaning supplies and give your diffuser the TLC it deserves. Your nose (and your home) will thank you!

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummied text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humor and the like).
Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
Where can I get some?
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humor, or randomized words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of the text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humor, or non-characteristic words, etc.
