Sha Faun Tips for Cleaning an Essential Oil Diffuser:
 
Essential oils are for lack of a better word, oils. Oil build up in your diffuser can create problems for you and your diffuser. Wiping out your diffuser between uses and doing a deep cleaning of your diffuser once or twice a month can keep your diffuser happy and keep your aromatherapy blends clean. 
 
Oily build up can mix your scents, making it challenging to diffuse your relaxing lavender when the smell of clove keeps creeping in from the residue left over from the last time you diffused your holiday blend. 
 
Essential oil residue and buildup can wear down the components of your oil diffuser and reduce its life. When you invest in your health through aromatherapy, Sha Faun Enterprises wants to teach you how to keep your investment working.
 
These simple tips will keep your blends pure and your diffuser performing at its peak.
 
How to Clean your Oil Diffuser between Uses: 

1. Unplug your diffuser
2. Add clean water to your diffuser and rinse out your water reservoir. 
3. Wipe out your oil diffuser with a dry cotton cloth. 

 
At the very least, you should be wiping out your diffuser every time you change oils.
 
 If you're anything like us at Sha-Faun Enterprises, your oil diffuser puts in many hours of work. Deep cleaning once or twice a month will help keep your diffuser in good condition.
