How to Maintain Your Sensum Diffuser

Why Maintenance is Important

Regular maintenance of your Sensum diffuser is essential for several reasons. It ensures that the diffuser operates efficiently, providing consistent and effective aroma dispersion. Proper maintenance also prevents the buildup of essential oil residues that can clog the diffuser and affect its performance. Additionally, a well-maintained diffuser lasts longer, saving you money in the long run.

Step-by-Step Guide to Maintaining Your Sensum Diffuser

Unplug and Empty the Diffuser

Before starting the cleaning process, make sure to unplug the diffuser. Empty any remaining water and essential oil mixture from the water tank.

Disassemble the Diffuser

Carefully disassemble the diffuser as per the manufacturer's instructions. This typically involves removing the lid and separating the water tank from the base.

Clean the Water Tank

Daily Cleaning: After each use, rinse the water tank with clean water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth.

Weekly Cleaning: Once a week, fill the water tank with clean water and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the inside of the tank. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Clean the Ultrasonic Plate

The ultrasonic plate is a crucial component of the diffuser. To clean it:

• Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and gently wipe the surface of the ultrasonic plate.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the plate.

Clean the Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the diffuser with a damp cloth. Avoid getting water or cleaning agents inside the electronic components.

Remove Essential Oil Residue

If there is a noticeable buildup of essential oil residue:

• Soak a cloth in white vinegar and gently wipe the inside of the water tank.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely.

Reassemble the Diffuser

Once all components are clean and dry, reassemble the diffuser following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Run a Cleaning Cycle

• Fill the water tank with clean water and add a teaspoon of white vinegar.
• Run the diffuser for 5-10 minutes to allow the vinegar solution to clean the internal components.
• Empty the water tank, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Diffuser Not Turning On

• Ensure the diffuser is properly plugged in and the outlet is functioning.

Weak Mist Output

Strange Noises
