A Simple Guide To Using The Mosaic Aroma Diffuser

The Sparoom Aromasource Mosaic diffuser is a handcrafted, luxurious essential oil diffuser that can be used to fill rooms of 300-400 sq. ft. with scent for up to 16 hours. To use it, fill the diffuser with 200ml of tap water and add 5-10 drops of your chosen essential oil. The diffuser has several settings to control mist output intensity, light, and mist volume. It also features an automatic safety shut-off function.

How to set up the diffuser

To set up the diffuser, simply plug it in and add water and oil. The diffuser uses tap water, which it converts to a cool mist. You can add essential oils or oil blends to the water to create a light scent when the air is released.

The diffuser is designed to cover 100-300 square feet, so it is best placed beside your bed, near your desk, or close to where you sit most often to enjoy the scent.

The diffuser has multiple settings, allowing you to control the mist output intensity and the light. It can run for up to 8 hours continuously or 16 hours intermittently, depending on the level of output intensity.

The diffuser also includes an automatic safety shut-off feature, so you can fall asleep with your favourite fragrance without any worries.

How to control the scent level

To control the scent level of your mosaic aroma diffuser, you can adjust the settings to determine the intensity of the mist and the amount of essential oil used. Here are some tips to help you control the scent level:

• Adjust the mist settings: Most aroma diffusers have multiple mist settings, such as low, medium, and high. By selecting the appropriate mist setting, you can control the intensity of the scent. For example, if you prefer a subtle fragrance, you can set the diffuser to a lower mist intensity. On the other hand, if you desire a stronger aroma, you can increase the mist intensity to a higher setting.
• Control the number of reeds: If your mosaic aroma diffuser uses reeds, you can adjust the number of reeds to control the scent level. For a milder fragrance, use fewer reeds, while adding more reeds will result in a stronger scent. It is recommended to use 4 to 5 reeds for a small room to achieve a pleasant aroma without being too overwhelming.
• Placement of the diffuser: The positioning of the diffuser in the room also affects the scent level. If you want the fragrance to be more concentrated in a specific area, place the diffuser closer to that spot. For a more subtle scent, you can place the diffuser farther away or in a larger room. Additionally, avoid placing the diffuser near heat sources like radiators, as higher temperatures will increase the diffusion rate, resulting in a stronger scent but a shorter diffuser lifespan.
• Amount of essential oil: The quantity of essential oil you use will directly impact the scent level. Most diffusers recommend adding 3 to 10 drops of essential oil. You can experiment with the amount to find the right balance for your preferences. If you're looking for a more delicate fragrance, start with a smaller number of drops and gradually increase until you achieve the desired scent level.
• Intermittent or continuous diffusion: Some diffusers offer intermittent and continuous diffusion modes. Intermittent diffusion releases the scent at intervals, resulting in a less intense fragrance. Continuous diffusion, on the other hand, produces a constant stream of scent, making it more suitable for a stronger aroma.
• Room size: Consider the size of the room when controlling the scent level. Larger rooms may require more reeds or a higher mist setting to achieve the desired fragrance level. Conversely, for smaller rooms, fewer reeds and a lower mist setting may be preferable to avoid an overpowering scent.
• Diffuser maintenance: Regular maintenance of your mosaic aroma diffuser can help control the scent level. Cleaning the diffuser according to the manufacturer's instructions and flipping the reeds every two weeks will ensure optimal performance and enhance the scent diffusion process.

Where to place the diffuser

When deciding where to place your diffuser, consider the following:

Proximity

Place your diffuser in an area where you find yourself frequently, such as on your bedside table, on a coffee table in the living room, or in the kitchen. This is a sure way to experience and enjoy your diffuser. However, if you want to maximise the diffusion of the scent, it is recommended to place the diffuser in the centre of the room, as oil diffuses in a radial diameter. Placing the diffuser in the corner of a room may cause the oil to hit the wall and rise upwards, reducing diffusion.

Height

Place the diffuser below eye level. The aroma will rise on its own, so placing your diffuser above your nose will prevent you from ever enjoying your oils.

Heat

Avoid placing diffusers next to any source of heat such as radiators to prolong scent release. Higher temperatures speed up diffusion, so while the strength of the scent will increase, the life of the diffuser will be shortened.

Surfaces

Always place your diffuser on a protective plate to ensure no liquid damages surfaces. Reeds may stain painted surfaces or other materials such as wallpaper, curtains, polished or synthetic surfaces or fabrics.

Power source

If your diffuser needs to be plugged in, make sure your setup is near an outlet.

How long does the diffuser last?

The lifespan of your Sparoom Aromasource Mosaic Mother of Pearl Handcrafted Luxury Essential Oil Diffuser depends on several factors, including the quality of the diffuser, the size of the room, and the environment it's in.

The diffuser can run for up to 8 hours continuously or 16 hours intermittently, depending on the level of output intensity. On the lowest setting, the diffuser can run for up to 8 hours continuously or 16 hours intermittently. On the medium setting, it can run for up to 5 hours continuously or 10 hours intermittently. On the highest setting, it can run for up to 4 hours continuously or 8 hours intermittently.

To extend the life of your diffuser, avoid placing it near a heat source such as a radiator or a window with a draft. Higher temperatures will speed up diffusion, increasing the strength of the scent but shortening the life of the diffuser. Instead, place your diffuser in a cool, shaded area of the house, such as the bathroom, or in a location closer to the ceiling, where there is often more moisture in the air.

Additionally, flipping the reeds every one to two weeks can help redistribute the oil and keep the scent fresh. You can also adjust the number of reeds to control the scent level. For a stronger scent, use more reeds, and for a more subtle scent, use fewer reeds.

How to clean the diffuser

To clean your diffuser, start by unplugging it and removing any remaining water according to the manufacturer's instructions. It's important to never submerge your diffuser in water.

For routine cleaning, use a 1:1 water and white vinegar solution to clean the empty reservoir and mist vent. Wipe it down with a dry cloth or cotton ball, and let it air dry before reassembling it. Always clean your diffuser after using it, as water that is left standing can develop mould and mildew spores.

For a deep clean, fill the diffuser halfway with plain water and a teaspoon of white vinegar. Run it for 5-10 minutes, then empty the reservoir. Clean any loose components, like the mist vent, separately with warm water and dish soap, and dry them completely. To clean the reservoir, wipe down the surfaces with a cloth dampened with a 1:1 solution of water and white vinegar. Use a cotton swab with white vinegar to clean the delicate misting chips and tackle any build-up. Allow the entire system to air dry before reassembling and using it again.

You should deep clean your diffuser at least once a month to keep it working at an optimal level.
