can I use essential oils in this?

Accepted Answer

Part 2- please read part 1 of my answer first!!
A: I guess there's a character limit lol! 
Ok so tutorial continued from my above post:

This is the super easy part! Take you Essential oil blend you made or purchased that you want to infuse into the pads and add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the container. Add your clean and dried used scent pads to the container. You can add a few pads at a time .if you have a few like I do, I usually infuse 8 pads at a time, adding 3 pads at a time, add more oil to the container. Add just a little for now. No need to saturate them yet! Put lid on and give it a good shake. Continue this process until all your pads are in the container. Now once all the pads are in the container just look 
At the pads and see how much they soaked up 
The oil. You want the pads to look/ be fully coated but obviously not dripping in oil. I've tried it both ways... where I filled up the jar with oils and allowed the pads to infuse that way but I've found it just makes a mess when you insert them into the scent pad compartment on the humidifier with dripping oils. It's not necessary and just wastes oils. So just add enough that the pads can soak up. This may entail letting them sit for a few days, check on them and add more scent/ oil as needed. When I infuse my pads I put just enough oil in the container to cover them. Store in your refrigerator. 
Then I check back a few days and the pads have the perfect amount infused. Before I use them, I let them infuse for a few days, like 3 or 4. I shake them up as often as I think of it just to stir them around because the pads will stick to each other if you don't and then you'll end up with dry patches with no oils and who wants that? Lol 
I try not to open the jar during this time but I'll check them to see if some stuck together. Don't use your fingers... use a pair of tweezers to handle them any time you touch them. 
So basically you've just knocked off or hacked the vapor/ scent pads! Keep the stored in the refrigerator AS IS until you're ready to use them. Again, to use, take them out with tweezers and place in the scent/ vapor compartment of your humidifier! Enjoy! Hope this helps you

Question 2

Do you need to take this apart to clean?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your inquiry. The tank needs to be removed to clean the reservoir in the base, but the casing of the base does not need to be taken apart. To clean the unit, please watch this easy to follow video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZSSTVns7N0.

Question 3

Can you fit your hand in the hole of the water tank to wipe down the inside walls and everything?

Accepted Answer

That is important to know. And the answer is yes! We have made the tank cap large enough to allow a hand to go inside of the tank for cleaning. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@HelenofTroy.com. Thank you.
