I cleaned it for the first time with a little vinegar and water because a fly fell in the diffuser (gross), but now it won't work! Any suggestions?

I would let it sit for a few days to really dry out and let the vinegar evaporate from the cracks. But the vinegar, being an acid, might have hosed it.

I think rubbing alcohol would work just fine - you could probably even turn the diffuser on for a few minutes to facilitate the cleaning process. However I have recently had a problem with my diffuser. It stopped working altogether (except for the ambient light). I then tried using rubbing alcohol, which has worked in cleaning another type of diffuser I have, but my Aroma Lumin remains, sadly, dead.

Clean it with vinegar and water and it should clean pretty well. Hope this helps:):):)

Try wiping the inside of the diffuser with a little rubbing alcohol on a qtip or a small corner of a towel.

Sounds like it needs to be cleaned. Our old friend vinegar helps in those small places. If really clogged, vinegar & baking soda usually work. Be sure to let it dry properly.

I had the same thing. It was dirty... Use white vinegar to clean the water reservoir and fan. Replug in, place in the reservoir tank filled. It should work. These need new filters about every three months because they filter alot of air, its amazing whats in our air..especially if you keep a window open... Hope this helps.

rinse the entire thing out. Place straight distilled white vinegar into the unit. Run unit with only the distilled vinegar in it for a few hours that should clean it off good luck.

You should be using distilled water in the diffuser--that is what it says to use--then I would think that using purified or distilled to clean it.

Try soaking head in 10% solution vinegar and hot water. If that doesn't work try 10% solution of bleach. Be sure to rinse well. Should clean head back to new

I use distilled water when using the diffuser so that may help with any buildup. I use vinegar and water to clean and wipe down. The metal disk in bottom is what needs to be thoroughly cleaned.

I also thought that mine was broken ad well after a short amount of time. mine doesn't seem to work if I fill it past the 300 ml line. I would suggest trying filling half. Thats how I get mine to produce the mist.

Oh,dear! Sorry to hear that. I wash mine by hand. Perhaps, you need to buy a new one?

From my perspective, it is not easy. Unless you don't mind having left over residue from the previous diffusing session. One suggestion that I found was to fill the tank with a vinegar and water mixture and run it through the diffuser for about an hour in order to clean the diffuser tank.

I found there are tons of YouTube videos that show you step by step how to take it apart and clean it. Mine wasn't working at all - the toggle had no resistance and wouldn't permit the airflow to pass through the brush. My husband watched the video and took it apart and put it back together again. Tedious but definitely something anyone can repair. Not sure if your problem is from dried makeup or perhaps a Non-Dinair product, but I'm sure it can be corrected. Good luck!

same here- tried cleaning it, no luck- when I first turn it on a lot of mist comes out and then hardly any, then puffs, then nothingedit- just poured out a lot of the water out of the cup and it works beautifully again! I think it requires a lot less water in the cup than you might think...I misplaced the measuring cup that came with mine. Although if yours doesn't mist at all that's probably not the problem....edit again- it ran out of water before the cycle was done...so that doesn't seem right to me either

This trap after adding water leaves a smell of dead or spoiled meat which flies love. I don't know what the vinegar will do. When you dispose the bag you close the lid so not much will get out..Maybe add the vinegar before you throw away. I am going to try that. Thanks for the tip about the larvae.
