Is It Safe to Diffuse Essential Oils?
Yes, diffusing essential oils is generally safe when used as directed. Essential oils are natural compounds, but they are potent and should be handled with care. Always use essential oils in appropriate amounts and follow the manufacturer's instructions for your diffuser. For most diffusers, it is recommended to use only a few drops of essential oil mixed with water. It's also important to ensure that your diffuser is placed in a well-ventilated area and that you avoid over-diffusing to prevent overwhelming aromas.
For specific concerns, such as using essential oils around children, pets, or during pregnancy, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider before diffusing.

Here are some of the key benefits of diffusing essential oils:
- Purify the air: Many essential oils have natural purifying properties that help clean the air and eliminate unpleasant odors.
- Enhance mood: Diffusing oils like Lavender or Citrus can help promote relaxation and boost mood.
- Support wellness: Certain oils, like Peppermint and Eucalyptus, can help support respiratory health and provide a refreshing, invigorating atmosphere.
- Create ambiance: Essential oils can set the perfect mood for relaxation, focus, or even sleep by adjusting the environment to your needs.
What Essential Oils Are Good for Diffusing?

How to Clean Your Essential Oil Diffuser
Cleaning your diffuser is crucial for maintaining its performance. Over time, leftover oils and water can build up and affect the diffuser’s efficiency. For a quick clean, simply rinse the water reservoir and wipe it dry between uses. You can also diffuse Lemon essential oil to help clean out any residue and leave a fresh scent.
How to Deep Clean Your Petal™ and Pebble™ Diffuser
At least once a month, it's important to deep clean your Petal™ and Pebble™ diffusers:
- Turn off and unplug your diffuser, and drain any remaining water or essential oils.
- Fill the reservoir halfway with clean water.
- Add a few drops of white vinegar (about 10 drops) to the water reservoir and turn the diffuser on for 3–5 minutes.
- Turn off the diffuser, empty the contents, and wipe the edges and ultrasonic plate with a cotton swab soaked in vinegar to remove any buildup.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water, wipe the reservoir with a dry cloth, and allow it to air-dry completely before using it again.
