With this diffusion technology, the essential oils projected into the atmosphere fall back more quickly, weighed down by water. This water, present in the form of micro-droplets, can possibly leave traces. We therefore recommend not placing your mister on a piece of furniture made of fragile materials or protecting the furniture around your diffuser.
Knowing how to use and maintain your diffuser is important if you want it to last over time. This is why we advise you to read the instructions provided carefully before use. In general: it is necessary to clean your diffuser at least 1 to 2 times per month, as well as each time you change essential oils. Likewise, vegetable oils should be banned from diffusers! Being viscous, they could damage it and clog it. But as each broadcast technology has its particularities, it is important to adapt the interview to its broadcaster.
