Owning an IQOS Iluma One means enjoying a cleaner, more modern way of heating tobacco — but like any device, it deserves a little care to keep it working at its best. The good news? IQOS Iluma One is designed to minimise residue buildup, meaning less cleaning and more convenience. Still, a little maintenance goes a long way in keeping your experience smooth and fresh.
Maintaining the charging case is crucial to ensure the device's longevity and performance, as it not only stores the holder but also constantly tops up its battery, allowing for more extended use without frequent charging.
Browse all IQOS productsBefore diving into the cleaning process, it’s essential to get acquainted with your IQOS device and its components. The IQOS device is composed of three main parts: the holder, the cap, and the heating chamber. The heating chamber is the core of the device, where the tobacco sticks are heated to the perfect temperature, ensuring a smooth and satisfying experience. The holder is the main body that houses the heating chamber and the cap. The cap is the removable part that allows you to insert the tobacco stick into the heating chamber.
Understanding these components is crucial for effective cleaning. Knowing where residue might accumulate and how each part functions will help you keep your device in top shape, ensuring a consistently enjoyable experience.
If you’ve used previous IQOS models, you might remember needing to clean them regularly. There are a few differences between the IQOS Iluma One and previous models, such as the reduced need for cleaning.
IQOS Iluma One changes the game with its blade-free Smartcore Induction System, which reduces the need for frequent cleaning. The heating element in the IQOS Iluma One is designed to be more efficient and requires less maintenance compared to older models. But while it’s a low-maintenance device, occasional cleaning helps keep it fresh and ensures an enjoyable experience every time.
Before you start cleaning your IQOS device, gather the necessary materials to make the process smooth and efficient. You’ll need:
Regular cleaning is key to keeping your IQOS device performing at its best. While daily cleaning is ideal, you can also opt for every other day or weekly, depending on your usage. Consistent maintenance not only ensures optimal performance but also extends the longevity of your device.
Cleaning your IQOS Iluma One is quick and hassle-free, and a little care will keep your device in top shape. Before anything else, always let your device cool down completely. This simple step prevents any accidental damage and ensures safe handling.
Once it’s cooled, gently wipe the exterior of the device with a soft cloth to remove any surface dirt. Then, grab the IQOS cleaning tool — your best friend when it comes to maintenance. It’s designed specifically for Iluma, so it removes any residue from the holder without causing damage. Just insert the tool and twist gently; that’s all it takes to keep things clean.
One important rule: never use water or cleaning agents on your device. Unlike traditional electronic cleaning methods, IQOS Iluma One doesn’t require liquids, and using them could damage its internal components. A dry clean is all it needs!
The IQOS cleaning tool is designed for effortless and effective maintenance. Unlike generic tools, it fits perfectly into the IQOS Iluma One holder, ensuring a gentle yet thorough clean. The process is simple — insert the tool, twist it lightly, and any residue inside will be removed.
If the cleaning tool becomes blocked, do not force it. Instead, use a different cleaning method to clear the obstruction.
Even though the IQOS Iluma One is designed to minimise buildup, an occasional clean helps keep it running smoothly. Using the cleaning tool from time to time ensures your device stays fresh and functional for longer, maintaining the same high-quality experience with every use.
To keep your IQOS device looking and functioning like new, start by gently wiping the exterior with a soft cloth or brush. This will remove any surface dirt or debris. For tougher stains or buildup, a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol can be an excellent option.
Next, focus on the components:
After reassembling the device, wait at least 30 seconds for the blade to cool down before using it again. Remember, never push or hit the cleaning stick against the blade, as this can damage your device. Also, avoid trying to clean the blade itself to prevent any potential harm.
By following these steps, you can ensure your IQOS device remains clean and in excellent working condition. Regular maintenance is the key to a consistently high-quality experience.
IQOS Iluma One already does a great job of keeping things clean, but a little extra care helps prevent any unwanted odours. Regular cleaning, even if it’s just a quick refresh, stops any buildup that might cause lingering smells.
To prevent unpleasant smells, use the IQOS Iluma One in the same way you would smoke a cigarette, inhaling from the filter mouthpiece of the holder.
Storage also plays a big role. Keeping your IQOS Iluma One in a cool, dry place will prevent exposure to humidity, which can sometimes contribute to unwanted odours. Try to avoid storing it near strong-smelling substances, as electronic devices can sometimes retain scents from their surroundings.
A well-maintained device means a better experience. Always use the official IQOS cleaning tool to ensure safe and effective cleaning. Avoid DIY cleaning methods, as they could harm your device rather than help it. Storing your device in a protective case also helps keep dust and debris at bay, ensuring it stays fresh for longer.
With just a little maintenance, your IQOS Iluma One can stay clean, fresh, and working at its peak. A quick clean now and then is all it takes! Want more maintenance tips or need to stock up on accessories? Visit our website for everything you need!
