Oil Type

I completely get the anxiety—essential oils can be a nightmare if they spill on hardwood floors or carpets. But you can breathe easy: No, the oil will not leak out if the machine gets knocked over. 👊

We engineered the kevinleo machine with a pretty solid seal design specifically to prevent this kind of headache. The fragrance bottle screws tightly into the internal nebulizer mechanism, meaning the oil stays securely locked inside the bottle even if a pet bumps into it or it accidentally tips sideways on your shelf.

A quick tip from experience, though:

While the oil won't leak out and ruin your floors from a quick tip-over, if the machine does get knocked over, it’s always best to pick it upright as soon as possible and avoid running it while it's lying flat on its side. This just ensures the internal pump feeds correctly and keeps everything running smoothly.

So yeah,…

Yes, you absolutely should clean it. Skipping this step is the fastest way to muddy your new scent, and nobody wants their premium Lavender smelling like leftover Sandalwood!

Cleaning the kevinleo container is super simple, and doing it right also flushes out any oil residue from the micro-nozzle to keep the pump running like new.

Here is the exact step-by-step DIY cleaning guide:

1. Empty the bottle: Pour out any remaining essential oil left in the container (you can save it in a small vial).

2. Add Alcohol: Pour a small amount of 95% or 97% medical/rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl alcohol) directly into the empty bottle.

3. Run the Machine: Put the bottle back in, turn the machine on, and let it run for about 1 hour.

Yes, you can use any standard essential oils! You are not locked into buying only kevinleo branded oils.

Stop right there! Please do NOT add carrier oils to your scent machine tank! ❌

The Golden Rules of Dilution:

• Never add water to a waterless diffuser oil bottle (oil and water don't mix, it will cause sputtering and rust). []

• Never add fatty carrier oils. []

• The Fix: If the scent is too intense, do not dilute the liquid. Instead, dial down the intensity via your machine's timer (e.g., reduce Work time to 5s, increase Pause time to 150s). Let the timer do the thinning for you!

Save your coconut oil for your skin, and keep the diffuser tank pure!
