Cleaning The Aroma-Globe Diffuser: Step-By-Step Guide

Essential oil diffusers require regular cleaning to prevent oil residue build-up, which can cause corrosion and affect the scent output. Cleaning also prevents the growth of mould and mildew. It is recommended to clean your diffuser after each use and give it a deep clean once a month.

To clean your diffuser, first unplug it and pour out any excess water. Then, use a small amount of natural dish soap on a cotton brush to wipe down the reservoir. Rinse the diffuser with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Clean the ultrasonic plate or chip with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove excess oil build-up. Finally, dry and reassemble the diffuser.

For a deep clean, fill the diffuser halfway with water and add 10 drops of distilled white vinegar. Plug the diffuser back in and run it for 10 to 15 minutes. Unplug and empty the diffuser, then wipe it down with a soft cloth. Clean the ultrasonic plate with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Wipe down the exterior of the diffuser with a damp cloth and reassemble.

Unplug the diffuser and empty the reservoir

To clean the aroma-globe essential oil diffuser, the first step is to unplug the diffuser and empty the reservoir. This is an important safety precaution, as electronic devices should not be plugged in while cleaning. It is also important to empty any remaining water from the reservoir after each use, as stagnant water can create build-up and affect the scent output the next time you use the diffuser.

• Locate the power cord and unplug the diffuser from the power source or outlet.
• Place the diffuser on a flat surface and remove the lid or cap of the reservoir.
• Pour out any remaining water or liquid from the reservoir into a sink. Be careful not to spill any liquid on the electronic components or control buttons. You can also use a small funnel or a turkey baster to remove the liquid without spilling.
• Use a paper towel or a clean cloth to wipe down the exterior of the reservoir, including the lid or cap. This will remove any excess liquid or residue.
• Allow the reservoir to air dry completely before proceeding to the next step.

Remember to always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific aroma-globe essential oil diffuser model, as different brands may have slightly different cleaning and maintenance guidelines.

Clean the reservoir with a cloth and dish soap

To clean the reservoir of your aroma-globe essential oil diffuser with a cloth and dish soap, follow these steps:

Firstly, unplug the diffuser and pour out any excess water or oil. It is important to unplug the diffuser before cleaning to avoid any safety hazards.

Next, take a soft cloth and dampen it with water. Add a small amount of natural dish soap to the cloth. You want the cloth to be damp, not soaking wet, to avoid getting water into the buttons or electrical components of the diffuser.

Wipe down the inside of the reservoir with the soapy cloth, paying special attention to any areas with built-up oil or grime. The natural dish soap will help to break down and remove any residue.

Once you have wiped down the entire reservoir, rinse the cloth with clean water to remove any soapy residue. Go over the reservoir again with the damp cloth to ensure that all soap has been removed. Alternatively, you can use a separate damp cloth to wipe down the reservoir after rinsing.

Finally, dry the reservoir thoroughly with a dry microfiber cloth or towel. Make sure that no water is left on the surfaces to prevent any standing water, which can lead to mold or mildew growth.

It is important to clean your essential oil diffuser regularly, preferably after each use, to prevent oil buildup and maintain optimal functioning.

Clean the ultrasonic plate with a cotton swab and alcohol

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

• Unplug your aroma-globe essential oil diffuser and empty the reservoir. Always unplug your diffuser before cleaning to avoid safety hazards.
• Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol.
• Gently rub the cotton swab over the ultrasonic plate to remove any excess oil build-up. The ultrasonic plate breaks down the oils so that they can be dispersed into the air, so it's important to keep it clean.
• Reassemble your diffuser and it's ready to use again.

You can also use white vinegar instead of alcohol to clean the ultrasonic plate. This method is especially useful for deep cleaning your diffuser once a month. Simply add 10 drops of distilled white vinegar to the reservoir, fill it halfway with water, and run the diffuser for 10-15 minutes. Then, unplug the diffuser, empty the reservoir, and wipe down the ultrasonic plate with a cotton swab dipped in vinegar.

Reassemble the diffuser

Once you have cleaned your Aroma-Globe essential oil diffuser, it is time to reassemble the parts and set it up for use again.

Firstly, ensure that all parts of the diffuser are thoroughly dry. Use a dry paper towel or a microfiber cloth to wipe down the interior and exterior of the diffuser. It is important to make sure that no water droplets or moisture are present, especially around the control buttons and electrical components.

Next, carefully put back all the parts of the diffuser. This includes placing the ultrasonic plate or chip back into its designated slot inside the reservoir. Make sure that all components are securely attached and aligned correctly.

After reassembling the diffuser, you can refill it with fresh water and add your desired essential oils. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the correct water level and oil ratio.

Once the diffuser is refilled, you can plug it back into the power outlet and turn it on. Enjoy your freshly cleaned Aroma-Globe essential oil diffuser!

Deep clean once a month

To deep clean your Aroma-Globe essential oil diffuser once a month, follow these steps:

Unplug and empty the diffuser:

Before you start cleaning, always make sure your diffuser is unplugged from its power source. Then, empty any remaining water and essential oil from the reservoir, following the manufacturer's instructions. It is important never to submerge your diffuser in water.

Fill the diffuser with water and vinegar:

For deep cleaning, fill the diffuser's reservoir halfway with plain water and add about 10 drops of distilled white vinegar. Do not use any other type of vinegar or cleaner in the tank, as this can be dangerous.

Run the diffuser for 10-15 minutes:

Plug the diffuser back in and let it run for 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the vinegar and water solution to cut through any built-up oils and disinfect the various components. If you prefer not to smell the vinegar, you can place the diffuser near an open window or outside.

Unplug, empty, and wipe down the reservoir:

After running the diffuser, unplug it again and pour out the vinegar and water solution. Use a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth to thoroughly wipe down and dry the reservoir, removing any lingering residues.

Clean the ultrasonic plate or chip:

Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and use it to gently clean the ultrasonic plate or chip. This will help remove any excess oil build-up. The ultrasonic plate or chip is responsible for breaking down the oils so that they can be dispersed into the air.

Wipe down the exterior:

Finally, use a damp cloth or a microfiber cloth to wipe down the outside of the diffuser. This will remove any dust, debris, or smudges. No soap or detergent is needed for this step; plain water will suffice. Make sure to dry the diffuser thoroughly before reassembling and using it again.
