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.

Marie I use all the different essential oils. Oh we are using it for our allergies. Lemon grass, lavender, peppermint. tea tree, white thyme, eucalyptus, Rosewood, and Thieves for when sick. I use them in all kinds of combinations and about 6 drops in the water. Oh my goodness some of them are so great and Ii just breath them in can sure unstop a nose. So many good oils. Enjoy we sure do. Elaine in TEXAS!

I believe you can use absolutely any essential oil you choose, it's a really large well of water and I usually put about 10-12 drops of oil in, I tend to stick to lavender as the others leave a sticky residue over time but yes, lemon or citrus blends would work, sounds like you have some lovely combinations, all of these fragrances are ok to use in my opinion! Thanks!

Yes. I use NOW brand Cheer Up Buttercup essential oil blend (which is mostly made up of citrus oils) in mine. No issues. I'm about to order another one right now. I love this item.

I have a Noor and I like it. However, the paperwork tells you to avoid using citrus oils, which really stinks. A customer support rep from ZAQ answered another question that you could use citrus oils in all of their diffusers. This is in direct opposition to what I received from the company when I puchased mine. I do love my Noor, though.

I recommend NOT using any cooking oils, such as olive oil, vegetable oil, sesame oil & the like! Citrus oils are fine, in fact, one of my favorite blends are, Lemmon & pepperment combo.Oh, as for the oil issue I'm just kidding!

I've used citrus oils in mine. Just clean it out regularly with vinegar water.

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.

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.

Absolutely! The oils are pure and strong! A little dab will do ya! The smell can be so strong it can make you ill!

Use any essential, depending on what you are using mister for, IE: lavender oil is great for massages or meditating, orange oil is great for entertaining. Oil is dropped into water reservoir. It's really a great item

Usually you would want to peel the lemon or any citrus. The oils from the rind are quite bitter.

I would not add OIL but I do add "extracts". I love peppermint.... Lemon , orange strawberry etc. there are so many to choose from You can find them on the "spice / baking area of most stores. If you choose Vanilla, you may want to get the CLEAR kind instead of the brown

You could just buy food grade D-Limonene here (http://www.amazon.com/Blubonic-Industries-d-Limonene-Solvent-Dlimonene/dp/B009SSGW48/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1399537071&sr=8-5&keywords=limonene) and then add it to whichever oil you'd like in the quantities that you desire.

I use it for citrus all the time. It's perfect. I don't peel them at all. But that depends on whether you like the somewhat bitter flavor of the oils in the skins which I really love. You can also grate them totally or partially. I use 2 whole oranges or 1 grapefruit, 1 cucumber, 1 carrot, 2 or 3 apples and a chunk of ginger root almost everyday. It's perfect.

Lemon oil may be diluted or mixed with other ingredients. Essential oils tend to be more pure usually

I have used Orange and lemon oil in this and haven't seen any problems, but I would be careful using Cinnamon or cloves in anything plastic.
