To clean an essential oil necklace, the recommended method involves using isopropyl alcohol to dissolve and remove residual oils. Here's a detailed guide:
Cleaning Your Essential Oil Necklace
-
Soak the Pendant:
- Carefully add isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) into the pendant of your essential oil necklace. Ensure the pendant is adequately filled to cover the areas exposed to essential oils.
- Let it sit overnight. This allows the alcohol to effectively dissolve and loosen the oil buildup.
-
Remove the Old Oil:
- The next day, use a syringe (a 1-inch, 25-gauge syringe is ideal for precise application and extraction) to withdraw the old oil and alcohol mixture from the pendant. This ensures thorough removal without leaving residue.
-
Final Steps:
- Once the old oil is removed, your essential oil necklace is ready for use. You can now add your desired essential oil.
Why this method works: Isopropyl alcohol is an effective solvent for essential oils, breaking them down for easy removal. The syringe provides a targeted and clean way to extract the dissolved oils.
