You Should Know These 4 Things About Diffusers

Diffusers are one of the easiest ways to experience the benefits of essential oils! This article will provide you with all the information you need about diffusers.

About a decade ago, I had a misconception that if I wanted to be "serious" about using essential oils, I would have to buy a lot of accessories, tools, and special equipment. Over time, I learned that there is nothing wrong with taking a casual approach to essential oils! And believe me, it is much cheaper to go the casual route.



If you were to ask me, “What is the one thing I need to get started using essential oils?,” I would say you need a good diffuser! A diffuser is easily and conveniently the easiest way to use and experience the benefits of your favorite essential oils.

Considering that they are such an essential piece of equipment, I will be writing all about essential oil diffusers today! I'll be answering four of the most common questions about diffusers, for both newbies and experienced users alike! After reading this post, you'll have all the answers you need not only to pick the best diffuser for you, but also to use it like a pro!

4 Important Questions About Essential Oil Diffusers

What Are Diffusers Used For?

Like a humidifier, a diffuser turns water into water vapor and emits it into the air. Unlike humidifiers, diffusers require both water and essential oils to function.

As the water vapor rises, the essential oils are dispersed into the air. By breathing normally, you'll inhale the oil particles and enjoy their benefits!

Which Features Should I Be Looking For?

Here are a few features you may want to look for when buying an essential oil diffuser:

◆ Run Time: Diffuser run times indicate how long it will take for the diffuser to use up all the water in its reservoir. Try to find a diffuser that can run for at least several hours, that way you don't have to constantly refill it.

Lights: When the diffuser is running, some diffusers have colored LED lights that come on. There are some that offer a few colors, and some that rotate through different colors. Find LED light options that suit your taste!

Power: The two most common power options for diffusers are DC power cords and USB power cords. USB-powered diffusers are very versatile, since you can plug them into your computer, a portable battery pack, and even your car!

Size: There are dozens of types and sizes of diffusers. The diffuser's size should be suitable for the location where you intend to use it the most.

How Do You Clean Your Diffuser?

All you need to do to maintain and care for your diffuser is to keep it clean. Wipe out the inside of your diffuser with a clean microfiber cloth after each use to remove water and oil residue.

Additionally, you should perform a deep clean on your diffuser every month. You can do this by adding 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to the water reservoir of your diffuser, then filling it the rest of the way with water. Run the diffuser for 10-20 minutes in a well-ventilated room, then dump out any excess vinegar water and wipe out the reservoir. Make sure to clean out the hard-to-reach corners and nooks with a cotton swab.
