How to use a waterless diffuser in a damp room
To use a waterless diffuser in a damp room, put it on a stable shelf out of any water spray, add the drops for that room, and run it for a set time each day with the room ventilated. In a bathroom, that is 5 to 8 drops for 30 to 60 minutes after the shower. Clean visible mould first. The diffuser is a daily routine for the room.
Aurala is a Gold Coast business, and this is the question we answer most after someone unboxes a diffuser: where does it go, and how long do I run it?
For a diffuser without a water tank, see our Waterless Diffuser for A$59.99; it puts fine oil droplets into the air and adds no water to the room.
Placement
- A stable, flat shelf or bench, out of the shower spray and away from sinks.
- In the room you want to hold, not inside a closed robe or cupboard.
- Away from curtains and soft furnishings so oil does not settle on fabric.
- Out of reach. The unit is battery powered, so no cord near water.
