A how-to guide for cleaning your essential oil diffuser + a special limited-time only offer for a FREE Immune Boost or Protection Blend essential oil!
I know a lot of you are diffusing your essential oils at home right now (because the oil diffusers are literally running off the shelves here at Organised HQ!) so I thought I’d give you some tips on how to clean your diffuser.
I use my essential oils all day every day to purify the air in my home and office, help ward off nasty germs, create calmness, promote sleep, motivate and inspire, reduce feelings of stress and anxiety and so much more.
Here are my tips for cleaning your oil diffuser so that you can get the best results from your essential oils too.
It is important that you clean your diffuser regularly. If you do not maintain the cleanliness of your diffuser, oil can build up in the device and it can prevent it from diffusing your oil effectively.
I usually try and keep into the routine of clean my diffusers around the first of the month. I use a 4 plug electrical board into one electrical socket to easily plug all my diffusers in and clean at the one time.
Steps to clean the essential oil diffuser
