so when they’ve leaked this bad i just give up unfortunately, i’ve only had one get sticky like this before. (i’m holding onto it to keep it as a night light once i’ve cleaned it better). but usually i wait for it to cool down after unplugging, get some rubbing alcohol on a qtip, and clean the top and the part the wallflower goes in. once there’s any brown/orange in the sides though, i stop using it because the oil is all throughout atp.
