How to Clean Your Diffuser

When’s the last time you cleaned your diffuser? If it’s been awhile, we are going to tell you how to clean it! To keep our diffusers running properly and making our homes smell heavenly, they periodically need to be cleaned! I try to clean mine at least once a week. Not sure how it’s done? We’ve got you covered right here! welcome to our young living diffuser cleaning protocol!

There are a few different tried and true methods for cleaning. There is no right or wrong way, so find what works for you!

I’ve learned 3 great tips for cleaning mine that I’m excited to pass along! Before you start, a good reminder is to always turn off and unplug your diffuser before you start to clean it!

#1 Seedlings Baby wipes from Young Living make cleaning your diffuser SO easy! Simply empty any remaining water and wipe thoroughly. It pulls out all the gunk, not to mention these wipes smell like heaven! This is an easy maintenance clean you could do once a week. Pro-tip: Seedlings wipes serve so many different purposes in our home. From dryer sheets to makeup remover, they do it all!

#2 I like to give my diffusers a more thorough cleaning once or twice a month. Start by rinsing the ultrasonic plate, water reservoir, lid and water sensor with water to rinse away any dust or debris. If you have any oil build-up around the ultrasonic plate, let it soak before wiping it down. Rubbing alcohol, white vinegar or warm soapy water work great for this. After soaking, gently wipe the plate with a cotton swab. Lastly, don’t forget to dry everything off with a gentle cloth or towel. Remember not to use any abrasives or aerosol sprays on your Young Living Diffuser. For our friends who have the Aria diffuser, yes, the glass dome is dishwasher safe!

#3 Use a carafe with water to refill your diffuser. Once the carafe is empty, you know it’s time to show that diffuser some love and clean it out!

Remember, by keeping your diffuser squeaky clean, you’re actually maximizing your oils and longevity of your diffuser! So let’s get cleaning!
