Aroma Diffuser and Humidifier
- How often should Soehnle Aroma Diffusers and air humidifiers be cleaned?
It is best to wipe the container with a cloth after each filling.
- How much fragrance oil is needed for Soehnle Aroma Diffusers and air humidifiers?
1 - 3 drops of fragrance oil are sufficient for one filling of water.
- Can I place Soehnle Aroma Diffusers and air humidifiers anywhere?
In general, yes. However, delicate furniture or carpets may be damaged. In any case, we recommend placing absorbent material (carpet remnants, rag, cloth, or newspaper) under the device.
- Does it need filtered or distilled water?
Not necessarily. You may use regular tap water.
However, the container should be cleaned with a cloth during each water change, in order to prevent hard water deposits. If you have very hard water, you may notice white hard water deposits on your furnishings and other objects. We therefore recommend using distilled or filtered water. - Can people perceive “dry” air?
No. Humans do not have a sensory organ that could assess the air moisture independently from other climatic parameters. But the effects of dry air – burning eyes, susceptibility to colds – can be perceived indirectly.
- Can I use Soehnle Aroma Diffusers and air humidifiers without fragrance oils?
Of course. The air humidification function and its positive effects will still be maintained.
- What is relative air humidity?
It is the ratio of water vapor actually contained in the air to the maximum possible volume of water vapor in the air. In other words: it is the ratio of absolute air moisture and the maximum air moisture. Commonly measured in percent.
- What causes air to be ”dry” in the winter?
The humidity level is the content of water vapor in the air.
The ability of air to absorb water vapor increases with higher air temperatures. The lower the water vapor content of the air, the dryer the air will be. - What is the effect of aromatizing the air in a room?
The fragrance of a room greatly influences body and mind: it can revive an organism, awaken wonderful memories, or activate creativity. It can also convey a comfortable interior climate and encourages relaxation – in the bathroom as well as in the bedroom or living room.
- Why does air humidification support our wellbeing?
Dry air – caused by heating systems in the winter – can cause uncomfortable symptoms for some people; particularly when the relative air humidity falls below 40 percent. Air humidifiers are a great option to maintain the relative air humidity at an individually comfortable level.
- Can people be sensitive to room fragrance?
The use of room fragrance is designed to improve the quality of interior rooms – in the best possible way. People with sensitive respiratory systems however may be sensitive to fragrances.
