Draining The Tranquility Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser: Step-By-Step Guide

The Tranquility Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser is a device that uses ultrasonic vibrations to disperse essential oils into the air, creating a fragrant mist. To drain and clean the diffuser, it is recommended to first unplug the device and then empty any remaining water and oil. The interior of the diffuser can then be wiped down with a paper towel dampened with distilled white vinegar or a natural dish soap and water solution. This helps to prevent oil buildup and corrosion. The ultrasonic plate or chip, which breaks down the oils, should be cleaned with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove any excess oil. Finally, the diffuser should be dried with a paper towel and reassembled for use.

Unplug the diffuser

Unplugging the diffuser is the first step in both the daily and deep cleaning processes. It is important to do this as keeping the diffuser plugged in and running while cleaning is a safety hazard.

To unplug the diffuser, simply locate the power cord and remove it from the electrical outlet. This will cut off the power supply to the diffuser, allowing you to safely proceed with the cleaning process.

Once the diffuser is unplugged, you can then proceed with the next steps, which include emptying and cleaning the reservoir, wiping down the interior, and cleaning the ultrasonic plate or chip.

It is always important to put safety first when working with any electrical appliance, so make sure that unplugging the diffuser is the very first step you take before beginning any cleaning or maintenance tasks.

Empty the reservoir

To empty the reservoir of your Tranquility Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser, start by unplugging the device from the power source. This is important for safety reasons, as it is hazardous to keep the diffuser plugged in while cleaning it.

Next, carefully pour out any remaining water and essential oils from the reservoir. It is important to empty the diffuser after each use, as standing water can lead to the development of mould and mildew spores. Once the reservoir is empty, use a paper towel or soft cloth dampened with distilled white vinegar to wipe out the interior. This will help to remove any leftover oil residue and prevent it from mixing with the next oil you use. Vinegar is also effective in preventing corrosion on the diffuser's parts. Alternatively, you can substitute the vinegar with water and a small amount of natural dish soap for cleaning.

After wiping down the interior, be sure to dry the reservoir thoroughly with a clean, dry paper towel or cloth before reassembling the diffuser.

In addition to the routine cleaning described above, it is recommended to perform a deep cleaning of your aroma diffuser at least once a month. For a deep clean, follow the same steps as above, but also fill the reservoir halfway with plain water and add 10 drops of distilled white vinegar. Do not use any other type of vinegar or cleaning solution, as this could damage the diffuser. Plug in the diffuser and let it run for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the vinegar and water mixture to cut through any built-up oils in the reservoir. Finally, unplug the diffuser, empty the vinegar and water solution, and wipe down the reservoir with a soft, dry cloth.

Wipe the interior with a paper towel and vinegar

To wipe the interior of your Tranquility ultrasonic aroma diffuser with a paper towel and vinegar, follow these steps:

Firstly, unplug the diffuser and remove any standing water or essential oils. It is important to never submerge any part of the diffuser in water or get excess moisture into the control buttons. Next, take a paper towel and dampen it with distilled white vinegar. Vinegar will help to prevent corrosion and stop any leftover oil from mixing with the next oil you use. Now, carefully wipe the interior of the diffuser with the paper towel. Make sure you get into any nooks and crannies.

If you don't have any vinegar to hand, you can substitute it with water and a dot of all-natural dish soap.

Clean the ultrasonic plate with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol

To clean the ultrasonic plate with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol, start by unplugging your Tranquility ultrasonic aroma diffuser and emptying the reservoir of any water or oil. The diffuser should never be plugged in or turned on during the cleaning process. Once the reservoir is empty, use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to gently rub the ultrasonic plate or chip, clearing away any excess oil build-up.

The ultrasonic plate plays an important role in breaking down the essential oils so that the diffuser can disperse them into the air as a mist. Therefore, it is crucial to keep this plate clean and free of residue. The rubbing alcohol will help to remove any oil residue and ensure the plate continues to function properly.

After cleaning the ultrasonic plate, dry the diffuser with a paper towel or a microfiber cloth. Make sure the diffuser is completely dry before reassembling it. It is recommended to clean your diffuser after each use to prevent oil residue from building up and to avoid scents from mixing the next time you use it.

In addition to cleaning the ultrasonic plate, you can also use rubbing alcohol to disinfect other parts of your diffuser, such as the reservoir and exterior surfaces. This will help to keep your diffuser in optimal condition and ensure that it safely preserves the integrity and therapeutic properties of the oils.

Dry and reassemble

To dry and reassemble your Tranquility ultrasonic aroma diffuser, start by unplugging the appliance and emptying any standing water and essential oils. It is important to never submerge any part of the diffuser in water or get excess moisture into any control buttons. Next, use a soft cloth or paper towel to thoroughly dry the reservoir and exterior of the diffuser. Be sure to also dry the ultrasonic chip or plate with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove any excess oil build-up. Once everything is completely dry, you can then reassemble the diffuser, refill it, and plug it in to use again. Remember to always unplug your diffuser before cleaning and perform a deep clean at least once a month to keep it working optimally.
