Aroma fragrance stones are a luxurious and unique way to enjoy your favourite scents. Made with crystal stones, Airy Aroma’s fragrance stones absorb fragrance oils, releasing a subtle and long-lasting aroma that enhances your home.
However, some clients ask: 'What if I want to change the scent or clean my stones?' In this blog, I’ll share five easy, effective ways to clean your aroma stones and switch scents without causing any damage.
Before we dive in, let’s address a common mistake that many people make when cleaning their fragrance stones.
Can I Clean the Crystal Stone with Water?
Yes, you can use water to clean your fragrance stones, but there are potential risks. Some crystals are porous, soft, or sensitive to water chemistry, which can lead to surface damage, cracking, or even complete dissolution.
Some perfumers suggest that if you want to clean your stone with water, you can use a gentle brush with mild detergent. After cleaning, rinse the stone with boiling hot water, but be cautious!
Avoid immediately using cold water after hot water, as the sudden temperature change can cause the stone to crack—just like glass. Please handle the boiling water carefully to avoid burns. Once cleaned, let the stones sit and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
Why We Don’t Recommend Using Water to Clean Aroma Fragrance Stones
If you do wash the stones with water, make sure to dry them under direct sunlight. Any remaining moisture can lead to unpleasant odours or mould growth. Therefore, water cleaning is generally not recommended.
Instead, we suggest using alternative methods that are safer, more effective and ensure the beauty and longevity of your fragrance stones. One of the best options is alcohol, which not only evaporates quickly but also helps prevent odour and mould formation. This method is especially useful during winter when water drying can be slow and challenging.
Now, let’s dive into the details! Here are safer and more effective methods you can consider to preserve your fragrance stones’ beauty and longevity without risking damage:
5 Simple Ways to Clean Aroma Fragrance Stones at Home
1. Sunlight and Fresh Air
One of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to clean your fragrance stones is by placing them in a sunny spot or near an open window. Let them sit outside for 24-48 hours, allowing the natural sunlight and fresh air to neutralise any lingering scents and evaporate residual oils. It’s a gentle method that’s great for both refreshing the stones and giving your space a boost of natural energy.
2. Alcohol or Vinegar Wipe
For a deeper clean, use rubbing alcohol or white vinegar. Dampen a soft cloth or cotton ball with either of these and gently wipe the surface of the stone. This will help break down any residual oil and neutralise the old fragrance. Once cleaned, let the stone air dry completely before adding a new fragrance oil.
3. Salt or Baking Soda Absorption
Simply place your fragrance stone in a bowl of unscented salt or baking soda and leave it for 24-48 hours. This will help absorb any leftover fragrance oil and odours. After the time has passed, brush off the salt or baking soda thoroughly with a soft, dry brush.
4. Unscented Baby Wipes or Makeup Remover Pads
Gently wipe the surface of the fragrance aroma stone to remove excess oils and lingering scents. Make sure to allow the stone to air dry completely before applying a new fragrance. It’s a simple and fuss-free way to keep your stones clean.
5. Cornstarch Powder
Cornstarch powder can be another helpful tool in cleaning your fragrance stones. Simply cover the stones with powder and leave them for 24-48 hours. The powder will absorb any remaining oils, leaving your stones clean and fresh. Afterward, brush off the powder thoroughly, ensuring the stones are dry before use.
How to Change the Aroma on Your Fragrance Stones
To change the scent on your fragrance stones, start by cleaning them thoroughly using one of the methods mentioned above. Once the stones are clean and dry, you can apply a few drops of your new fragrance oil.
What If I Don’t Clean My Aroma Fragrance Stones?
Honestly, you don’t really need to clean them. The scent will naturally evaporate over time, and that’s when you can add more fragrance oil to the stones. However, if you want to clean your stones or change the scent, now you know exactly how to do it.
