Easy Cleaning Guide For Your Esta Aroma Diffuser

Regular cleaning of your Esta Aroma Diffuser is essential to prevent oil residue build-up, maintain optimal performance, and ensure pure fragrances. Here's a step-by-step guide to effectively clean your diffuser:

1. Unplug the diffuser and remove any remaining water or oil from the reservoir.

2. Clean the reservoir with a microfiber cloth and a mild, natural dish soap solution. Rinse and dry the reservoir thoroughly.

3. Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol or white vinegar to clean the ultrasonic plate or chip, removing any excess oil.

4. Reassemble the diffuser.

5. For a deep clean, fill the reservoir halfway with water and add 10 drops of distilled white vinegar. Plug the diffuser and let it run for 10-15 minutes.

6. Unplug and empty the reservoir again. Wipe the interior with a damp microfiber cloth and dry it.

7. Clean the ultrasonic plate with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol.

8. Wipe the diffuser's exterior with a damp cloth.

9. Reassemble the diffuser.

Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions and avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the diffuser in water. Regular maintenance will help prevent mold, maintain optimal performance, and ensure a pure, pleasant fragrance from your Esta Aroma Diffuser.

Unplug and empty the diffuser

To clean your Esta Aroma Diffuser, start by unplugging it from the wall and pouring out any excess water or oil. This is an important safety precaution and will prevent spills or damage to the diffuser's electrical components. Be sure to pour from behind the diffuser to avoid spilling on the operating buttons.

Next, remove the outer cover of your diffuser by gently turning it anticlockwise from the top. Place the diffuser on a stable, horizontal surface when removing the cover, and avoid tilting the unit at an angle. You may want to place a towel underneath to catch any water droplets.

Now you can dispose of any water that's in the water tank. Always tilt the diffuser unit in the direction of the water draining mark. Never tilt it toward the air outlet, as this may cause a malfunction.

At this point, your diffuser is ready for a deep clean. However, if you simply want to clean your diffuser after use, you can wipe out the reservoir with a paper towel dampened with white vinegar or a natural dish soap and water solution. This will prevent oil buildup and corrosion.

If you notice visible residue or sediment in the tank, it's time for a deep clean. Fill the diffuser halfway with plain water and add 10 drops of distilled white vinegar. Plug the diffuser back in and run it for 10-15 minutes to allow the vinegar to cut through built-up oils.

Once the diffuser has run for the desired time, unplug it and empty the vinegar and water solution. Use a soft cloth, cotton swab, or small brush to wipe down the inside of the diffuser, targeting any stuck-on grime. Ensure you wipe the ultrasonic plate or chip, as this is where oils tend to build up.

Finally, wipe down the outside of the diffuser with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, debris, or smudges. Be careful not to get any water into the buttons or under the machine.

Clean the reservoir with a cloth and natural soap/detergent

To clean the reservoir of your Esta Aroma Diffuser, you will need a cloth and some natural soap or detergent. First, unplug the diffuser and remove any remaining water from the reservoir. Next, add a small amount of natural soap or detergent to your cloth—just enough to dampen it. Wipe down the entire reservoir with the soapy cloth, taking care not to get it too wet. Finally, rinse the reservoir with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue, then dry it with a dry cloth or paper towel.

It is important to clean your diffuser after each use to prevent oil residue buildup and to prevent scents from mixing the next time you use it. In addition, cleaning gets rid of any standing water, where mold or mildew can grow.

Clean the ultrasonic plate with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol

To clean the ultrasonic plate with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol, follow these steps:

Firstly, unplug the diffuser and empty the reservoir. It is important to never clean a diffuser while it is still plugged in as this can be a safety hazard.

Next, take a cotton swab and dip it into some rubbing alcohol. Then, gently rub the cotton swab over the ultrasonic plate or chip to remove any excess oil build-up. The ultrasonic plate or chip is responsible for breaking down the oils so that the water can disperse the molecules into the air. Therefore, it is important to ensure that this component is clean and free of any residue.

After cleaning the ultrasonic plate, be sure to wipe the diffuser with a dry paper towel or cloth before reassembling it. This will help to remove any remaining alcohol and ensure that your diffuser is ready for its next use.

Rinse and dry the diffuser

Make sure to dry the diffuser thoroughly with a dry paper towel or a clean, dry cloth. This is an important step to prevent the growth of mould and mildew. Water that is left standing can develop mould and mildew spores, so it is important to dry the diffuser completely after rinsing.

After drying the diffuser, it is ready to be reassembled and refilled for use.

Deep clean once a month

To deep clean your Esta Aroma Diffuser once a month, follow these steps:

Firstly, unplug the diffuser and remove any water or oil that is still in the reservoir. It is important to never submerge your diffuser in water, as this can cause damage. Instead, tilt the diffuser unit in the direction of the water draining mark and pour out the remaining water.

Next, it's time to clean the ultrasonic diaphragm and water tank. This is the core of your diffuser, so it's important to be thorough. Using a clean cloth, wipe the water tank with a solution of warm water and a neutral detergent. Then, use a cotton swab to clean the ultrasonic diaphragm, which is located at the bottom of the water tank. Once you've finished cleaning, fill the tank with tap water and run the diffuser for 30 minutes. When the timer ends, pour out the water and wipe the diffuser dry with a clean cloth.

Now, clean the inner and outer cover of your diffuser. If essential oil or fragrance oil has come into contact with the cover, or the covers are dirty, wipe them with a clean cloth soaked in diluted neutral detergent and lukewarm water, and then wipe them with a dry cloth.

Finally, you can rinse the diffuser with clean water to get rid of any excess vinegar or detergent. Use a dry cloth or cotton balls to wipe the diffuser and dry it thoroughly.

And that's it! Your Esta Aroma Diffuser is now deep cleaned and ready to use.
