easy to clean diffuser?
Anyone have a diffuser that they love that is easy to clean? Does that exist? We have one by Now, and I find it hard to really get clean. Granted, I'm not good about cleaning it right after using it since I almost always use it at night when we go to bed. It just is so gross inside, and I can't really get it clean. Is there a better option or are they all like this? I feel like it has a funky smell now too.

Re: easy to clean diffuser?
Mineral build up? I use distilled water so I don't get build up. I never have to clean mine. When I used tap water they got all gunked up and eventually stopped working. I bought a $15 one at Walmart and have only used distilled water. No issues.

Re: easy to clean diffuser?
I don't think it's mineral buildup, though it could be. It's brown/black, I assume mold. Dh has distilled water for his cpap- I could try using that. I assume it was from standing water in the diffuser.

Re: easy to clean diffuser?
I have and LOVE the Young Living desert mist diffuser. So easy to clean! Literally just use a cotton swap with alcohol and wipe it out.
https://www.youngliving.com/blog/how...your-diffuser/ I never leave standing water in it though, and we use distilled water, so no mold or buildup issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: easy to clean diffuser?
Thanks! That one looks nice! The one I have has too many parts that I can't clean, like there is no way to get a cloth or qtip to those places. I always run it until it is empty, but I think there must be a little water left. They all say to clean after every use, which I definitely dont do. I need something that is not so complicated to clean! I submerge the tank, but it needs some friction to get it clean!
We do have hard water. I never thought about distilled water. I am going to start using that! Good thought. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

I’ve had three diffusers. This one (the desert one) is my favorite. I’ve had it for two years and it works like a charm and doubles as a nightlight. This is a link to the actual diffuser. The other link was just to cleaning instructions https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/pr...-mist-diffuser

Re: easy to clean diffuser?
I don't have a Desert Mist, but I do have two other Young Living diffusers. Older models. I am going on three years. One uses distilled water, but the other is supposed to use tap water. They are easy to clean. I just wipe them out if I have left them a few days.

Re: easy to clean diffuser?
There is also a really gorgeous one that looks like a lantern.
https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/pr...ntern-diffuser It is the same diffuser, just in a lantern design, but it is supposed to be the same as the Desert Mist. I don't have either, so I don't know. I want one so much. They had a charcoal grey one, too, but I can't seem to find that one.

Re: easy to clean diffuser?
Even ones that say to use tap water can use distilled water.
I use distilled water in my steam mop, too, and it works great with no build-up. After I had a steam mop that died due to mineral build-up, I decided I'd only use distilled. I think they recommend tap water because they know they'll wear out sooner than with distilled. |

Re: easy to clean diffuser?
I have the Aromafuse diffuser from Plant Therapy. Easy to setup and use. It has option for being a night like. I like the timer. I usually feel it as much as I can with the water and set it for 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off. That will keep it going for a good 18 plus hours.
Plant therapy also has free shipping and returns. You can order directly from their website or through Amazon.

Re: easy to clean diffuser?
Y'all! Young Living has a sale right now that you can get 10% off a starter kit with that Desert Mist diffuser in it. That is a great deal. It is open to new AND current members!
I don't have a YL business, but I am trying to help my DD build one, so I am offering some incentives over and above YL's 10 percent. PM me if you want more details and are not a member yet.
