Yes, it can be used without essential oils. The more you use the oils the faster it needs to be cleaned. It is easy to clean and Smiley Daisey will send you an email explaining how to clean it. I have been very happy with mine!!!

I have used it with both fragrance oils and without. And I have not cleaned mine yet but it looks to be very simple in its design so I would think it would be a breeze to clean. The company very thoughtfully sends use and cleaning information with it. I would say that just using it just as a humidifier might not be as effective as another one though, this is very small.

It is easy to clean. I just wipe clean with a damp cloth and let air dry. And it can be used without EOs. Just run as normal without EOs.

I have not experienced any build up at all. I have used it every day without adding any cooking oils, etc and it is a snap to clean after use. Just wipe it down and you are ready to go.

I always handwash mine, it is simple and fast. I love it, and didn't buy it because of the recipes on the side, but found out that they are very handy. And a good for parties/gatherings!

I was told by the Mityvac rep that if you are planning on using it for simply oil, all the time, that there is no need to clean it, other than emptying it, as the bit of oil left behind will keep the rubber seals moist. Now if you are planning on using it for several different fluid removal that the easiest way to clean it was to put the same kind of goop type hand cleaner used when you are dealing with your oily dirty hands. Put a bit in a cup diluted with water and vacuum it up with the Mityvac. I hope that works; I didn't clean mine since I plan on using it for motor/boat oil at all times; I just emptied it back on the same quarts and took the old oil to a recycle place near by.

you can't use essential oil in this steamer...this is just a plain one...you will ruin it if you do...

Yes, it's very easy to clean. A little bit of soap & water will do the job.

I've used citrus oils in mine. Just clean it out regularly with vinegar water.

I apologize for my late answer. Yes it is fairly easy to clean. Do not wait to long to clean this product. It can start to smell. I use some bathroom cleaner and water to rinse it out. You got to disinfect! It is convenient to used especially for a guy who delivers the mail with no washroom in sight.

It's rubberized so I use warm water (add soap if needed) and paper towels or a rag. It's very simple to clean. You could even mop it I suppose but I have not tried that.

It's super easy to clean - just use a bottle brush and hand wash. The top just unscrews and there are no little parts to remove and keep track of. I highly recommend this product.

It's fairly easy to clean, the heating element slides right out and you can submerge the tub that holds the oil. Never submerge the heating element, but you can give it a good wipe down.

You don't really have to clean it. But if you want to you can mix a little soap and warm water and pour it through the unit. If you use it for other liquids besides water just make sure you flush it out with water really good. :)

Yes, it's easy to clean. I just use mine for boiling water for my tea. I hand wash it in the sink when I need to.

You can use it dry, with water or oil. I would suggest using water. Its less messy.

Hi Toby - I think it would be easy to clean, but haven't needed to yet. Maybe you could double check the description to be sure I remember correctly, but I think you can put it in the dishwasher.

No essential oils. And one of my two stopped working as well, not long after purchase after it ran out of water in the middle of the night.
