What should I pay attention to when cleaning the aromatherapy machine?

　　When cleaning the aromatherapy machine, you need to pay attention to the following matters:

　　Safety matters

　　Unplug the power supply: Before cleaning the aromatherapy machine, be sure to unplug the power plug to prevent the risk of electric shock and ensure your own safety.

　　Avoid water short circuit: The circuit part and key components such as the motor of the aromatherapy machine cannot be exposed to water, otherwise it may cause a short circuit to damage the aromatherapy machine and even cause a safety accident. During the cleaning process, be careful to prevent water from entering these parts.

　　Choice of cleaning materials

　　Use mild detergent: If there are stubborn stains inside the aromatherapy machine, when you need to use a detergent, you should choose a mild, non-corrosive detergent, such as a neutral detergent or a special aromatherapy machine cleaner, and avoid using strong corrosive chemical reagents such as strong acids and alkalis to avoid damaging the material of the aromatherapy machine.

　　Avoid using rough tools: Do not use rough tools such as steel wool and hard brushes when cleaning to avoid scratching the surface of the aromatherapy machine and affecting its appearance and service life. You can use a soft damp cloth, cotton swab or soft brush for cleaning.

　　Cleaning parts and methods

　　Water tank cleaning: Pour out the remaining liquid in the water tank, then rinse the inside of the water tank with clean water. If necessary, you can add an appropriate amount of detergent, gently shake the water tank so that the detergent fully contacts the stains, and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water to ensure that there is no detergent residue. For the corners and gaps of the water tank, you can use a cotton swab dipped in water or detergent to wipe.

　　Atomizer cleaning: The atomizer is one of the core components of the aromatherapy machine. If there is dirt or essential oil residue on the atomizer, it will affect the mist effect. You can use a cotton swab to dip a small amount of white vinegar or a special atomizer cleaner, gently wipe the surface of the atomizer, then rinse it with clean water, and finally wipe it dry with a clean soft cloth.

　　External cleaning: Gently wipe the outside of the aromatherapy machine with a soft damp cloth to remove dust and stains on the surface. If there is oil on the surface of the aromatherapy machine, you can wipe it with a small amount of detergent on a wet cloth, and then wipe off the detergent residue with a clean wet cloth.

　　Vent cleaning: The vents of the aromatherapy machine may accumulate dust, affecting heat dissipation and normal operation. You can use the cold air setting of the hair dryer or a compressed air tank to blow away the dust in the vents. Be careful not to use hot air to avoid damaging the internal parts of the aromatherapy machine.

　　Post-cleaning treatment

　　Dry thoroughly: After cleaning, make sure that all parts of the aromatherapy machine are thoroughly dried before reassembling and using. The aromatherapy machine can be placed in a well-ventilated place to dry naturally, or it can be wiped dry with a clean dry cloth, but be careful to avoid residual moisture.

　　Correct assembly: When assembling the aromatherapy machine, make sure that all parts are installed in place, especially key parts such as the water tank and atomizer, which must be installed tightly to prevent water leakage or affect the atomization effect.

　　What are the effects of not cleaning the aromatherapy machine for a long time? Not cleaning the aromatherapy machine for a long time will have many adverse effects, as follows:

　　Affecting the misting effect

　　Atomizer blockage: During the use of the aromatherapy machine, impurities in the aromatherapy essential oil and water will gradually adhere to the atomizer. If it is not cleaned for a long time, these attachments will accumulate more and more, blocking the micropores of the atomizer, making the atomizer unable to work normally, resulting in a decrease in the amount of mist or even no mist.

　　Pipeline blockage: The pipes inside the aromatherapy machine may also be blocked by residual aromatherapy essential oils, scale, etc., affecting the transportation of mist and making the misting effect of the aromatherapy machine worse.

　　Breeding bacteria and microorganisms

　　Bacterial reproduction: The interior of the aromatherapy machine is humid and warm, which is an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and microorganisms. If it is not cleaned for a long time, the residual aromatherapy essential oils and water will provide nutrients for bacteria and microorganisms, causing them to multiply in large numbers. When the aromatherapy machine is used again, these bacteria and microorganisms will spread into the air with the mist, which may cause health problems such as respiratory infections and allergies.

　　Produce odor: Bacteria and microorganisms may produce unpleasant odors during the growth and reproduction of the aromatherapy machine, which not only affects the effect of aromatherapy, but also makes the indoor air turbid.

　　Shorten service life

　　Damage internal parts: The atomizer, motor, circuit and other parts inside the aromatherapy machine may be corroded and damaged if they are exposed to uncleaned aromatherapy oil and water for a long time. For example, the accumulation of scale may affect the heat dissipation of the motor, causing the motor to overheat and damage; the chemical components in the aromatherapy oil may corrode the atomizer and circuit, causing the aromatherapy machine to malfunction.

　　Reduced performance stability: Long-term uncleaning will gradually reduce the performance of the aromatherapy machine, and problems such as unstable mist and increased noise may occur frequently, eventually causing the aromatherapy machine to be unable to be used normally and shortening its service life.

　　Affect the aromatherapy effect

　　Mixed fragrance: Different types of aromatherapy oils remain in the aromatherapy machine. If they are not cleaned for a long time, they will mix with each other, making the original pure fragrance mixed, affecting the quality and effect of the aromatherapy.

　　Weakened fragrance: Due to the deterioration of mist output effect and the blockage of the atomizer, the aromatherapy machine cannot fully atomize the aromatherapy essential oil and diffuse it into the air, resulting in a decrease in the fragrance concentration in the room and failure to achieve the expected aromatherapy effect.
