Does the booklet say anything about not using citrus oils?

I use it with wild orange oil and others. I know citrus can be hard on plastics. I think because it is diluted with water that might be helpful. I have yet to see a diffuser that is not plastic where the oils go in. Hmmm... The inside container is getting slightly discolored but doesn't seem to affect the operation. I use mine everyday and plan to order another one because I diffuse in my classroom.

No. I use lemon, wild orange, and bergamot in mine all the time. I've had great luck with it!

I didn't read it. I use citrus oils in it. No lingering smell of citrus after I clean it. I clean after every use.

My daughter uses lime/lemon/orange oils all the time in her Briteleaf and thus far no problems. Most oils result in some residue that should be cleaned out now and then using a Q Tip and warm water.

I already tossed my book but I have been using my orange essential oil in it every morning...

I've had mine for a while, so it may not be a good indicator... No oily feeling when I squeezed a couple cloves.Though, they are still very aromatic.

Sorry, I do not know and my husband isn't here. He is very aware of only using healthy oils in or on anything.

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!

Only if citrus oil bothers you. It's completely safe and non toxic . Should be no need to vacate the area

I use Thieves Essential Oil in mine. I would think that a citrus oil would be fine. Oil is oil.....don't know if that helps.

Yes they can tell you. If they own their company they may choose not too, due to them not wanting their products reproduced. When purchasing essential oils, they must be mixed with proper ingredients so they are safe for consumers.

It's what is known as a Hot Oil. Some essential oils are hot, some are not. The oils break down the styrofoam, I've witnessed this happen. The Slim and Sassy is mainly Cinnamon and Grapefruit and other citrus based oils. It's very safe, but very strong, that's why they have you dilute them. One bottle will last you months!

I have read that any basic oil would work but the fragrance additives etc. I would be more trusting of using mineral oil. I have used olive oil in the past as well but more expensive than mineral oil.

Not to my knowledge. As soon as I read the warning about a compound used on the cover, and the need to wash your hands every time you used this device- I threw it out.

According to my daughter, who sells Do-Terra oils, diffusers won't work with distilled water. I just use tap water. It didn't say not to use with citrus, but I haven't tried citrus.

No - none are necessary. It's made from beeswax and "food-grade" mineral oil - no fumes at all.

I am an herbologist and make a variety of different items that include tinctures, essential oils and natural oils. I have never had a problem with any of them. I have never used lye or citric acid though so I dont know how they would work.

Operating instructions indicate the following: "Additives are NOT recommended." I haven't tried it, however would ASSUME it to be alright if oils are used judiciously.

I've only used it every other day for a couple months, but so far no problems with a variety of oils- some mixes, including "sweet orange" essential oil. It's basically just a little plastic well with a metal plate at the bottom, so I can't imagine there would be any problems.

I did not use coconut oil. I usually put some drops into a bath with Epsom salt and baking soda.
