How often should I clean the spray diffuser?
It is recommended to clean the diffuser thoroughly with water after each use to prevent clogging and maintain optimal performance. For longer storage, ensure it is completely dry.

Troubleshooting
No spray or weak spray
Ensure the lower tube is submerged in the liquid. Check that the mouthpiece is clean and clear of blockages. Try blowing with a slightly firmer breath. Ensure the liquid is not too viscous.
Uneven spray pattern
This usually indicates a lack of practice. Focus on maintaining a consistent breath and blowing steadily. Ensure the liquid is well-mixed and free of clumps.
Liquid backing up into the mouthpiece
This can happen if you inhale while blowing or if the liquid level is too high. Ensure you are only exhaling. Try not to overfill the container with liquid.
Diffuser clogged
Immediately stop use and rinse the diffuser thoroughly with warm water. If the clog persists, try soaking the parts in warm, soapy water. Ensure all materials used are suitable for the diffuser and are properly thinned.
