Cleaning is a necessary step to ensure that oil residue doesn’t build up in your machine, preventing it from working properly. Periodically, it is a good idea to run your diffuser through a cleaning cycle. If you use your unit every day, then running a cleaning cycle monthly is a good idea. To do so, do the following:

1. Fill your diffuser half way with clean water.

2. Add 10 drops of white vinegar.

3. Let the diffuser run for about 5 minutes to allow the water-vinegar mixture to disperse throughout the unit and clean it.

4. Drain the diffuser completely.

5. Using a cotton swab dipped in vinegar, clean the tight spots and corners of the diffuser.

6. Rinse with clean water.

7. Use a dry cloth to wipe the diffuser and dry it thoroughly.
