We have been using the diffuser for all kinds of essential oils including orange, grapefriut and mandarin. It helps to clean every couple of weeks with 50/50 white vinegar and water. Let it sit for an 1/2 hr or better and wipe out with clean cloth. Great little diffuser.

I would see why not given its just peppermint oil. what you'd do though depending on what purfume or lotion you want to mix it with only add a small drop each time till it get's to be the smell you want. on the rare case that it messes with your skin try to water it down a little. when i got mine i figured out it needed to be watered down a good bit when mixing it with other scents. though for most oils that are natural, as long as you have not allergies to them, you can mix them with what you want. i hope this answers your question.

I checked on Smiley Daisy's website, and it said that you can use citrus essential oils. Just make sure to use room temperature water. Hope this helps

Honestly I haven't tried that--but if you partially dehydrate or freeze I think it could. I used it to extract oil from citrus peel so I think it can do more than expected.

I don't see why not I have used lavender essential oil and am currently using oil of thieves in mine, just be sure to fill with water to the line and then how ever many drops of oil you wish without being overpowering

Hi, this oil really isn't an oil, it's watery. So I don't think it'll really mix with other oils. Maybe, I'm sorry I just don't know.

I just checked ZAQ's FAQs - it says: Yes, all of our diffusers are compatible with citrus and other essential oils, blends and fragrances. However, please note that any oils marked as incompatible with diffusers are incompatible with our diffusers. Please clean the water reservoir frequently to remove any oil residue and maximize the lifespan of your diffuser.

No, I don't think so . I've been using these for some time. I'd strain the seeds of your lemons prior to pouring into this beautiful container. I use it ALL the time for many things: linen spray with essential oils m etc. The sprayer on the bottle is very good quality providing a nice FINE mist without effort (easy to use). Hope that helps.

You may use fractionated coconut oil or just coconut oil to dilute any essential oil. If you post your question on google, you will find many websites addressing this, but here is one link that is helpful. http://www.everythingessential.me/Hints/CarrierOils.html

I use it with Biokleen's grapefruit seed extract laundry liquid. No particular interactions that I can tell, if that's what you're wondering.

The whole unit is plastic...the oils are ok because they are being diffused and will not sit in the diffuser indefinitely. While it is true that you should not put the CITRUS oils (such as lemon) in plastic, the other oils are fine. What happens since Lemon is a detoxifier, for instance, it pulls the petroleum products that are in styrofoam or plastic OUT of the container (i.e. detoxifying it). This is why we say to use GLASS for water with lemon EO :) Hope this helps!

I've used a lime essential oil and the unit has been fine. I did however have an issue with an orange essential oil as it stained the inside of the unit a bit. Hope this helps!

Hi Sarah, Citrus oils can be used under the following conditions: - The inside of the unit (especially the diffuser disc, and around it) are cleaned up shortly after usage with a mild soap & water solution within 24 hours. - Otherwise, if you'd like to use citrus oils frequently, we highly suggest using it as blended with other types of oils. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to helping you! Best Regards, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder

Yes, you can use it in oil diffuser. Sometimes I mix it with Eucalyptus, when kids are sick.

I use lemon essential oil in several ways: a mouthwash, air freshener, cleaning spray, lotions, scrubs. I would advise you to contact Plant Therapy as they are professionals and are equipped to answer your question correctly. Excellent product, highly recommend!

I use all types of essential oils. Yes you can use citrus oils. It works well. I use it every day at home and I have one in my classroom too.
