common questions

• Why does the mist start and then stop?
• What do the different strength settings mean?

SereneScent™ is designed to mist and pause at different time intervals based on the intensity you select. Ex: When the diffuser is at a particular intensity level, it will release a visible aroma mist for a few seconds and then pause before starting again for another few seconds.

The diffuser may need to be cleaned when:

1. You're about to change to another SereneScent™ oil bottle.
2. The atomization volume becomes weak.

Cleaning steps:

1. Fill the empty 15 ml bottle (provided with your diffuser), with 90% isopropyl alcohol or higher.
2. Install this bottle to the diffuser and turn the diffuser on high. Let it work for 30 minutes.
3. Turn OFF diffuser, remove bottle with isopropyl alcohol, and replace with bottle of SereneScent™ fragrance oil.

are essential oils safe to use around pets?

Although Homedics SereneScent™ is made from essential oils, we should always exercise caution when using essential oils around our pets. Keep all products out of reach of pets. Keep open bottles away from pets to avoid internal consumption. When diffusing, always diffuse in a well-ventilated area and leave an option for them to remove themselves from the space. Every animal is different, so carefully observe how each animal responds when introducing essential oils for the first time. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. We recommend seeking medical attention if ingestion of essential oil occurs.
