How to use reed diffuser

At CandleDust, we take pride in crafting our reed diffusers with the finest ingredients, ensuring a luxurious and long-lasting fragrance experience for your home. Each of our products is meticulously handmade, reflecting our commitment to quality and care.

How to Use a Reed Diffuser

 

  1. Choose the Right Location: Place your reed diffuser in a central area of the room, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open windows. This helps the fragrance disperse evenly and prolongs the life of the diffuser.

  2. Insert the Reeds: Insert the reeds into the bottle, making sure they are evenly spaced. The reeds will absorb the fragrance oil and gradually release it into the air.

  3. Flip the Reeds: For a stronger scent, flip the reeds every few days. The more you flip the reeds, the more intense the fragrance will be.

  4. Adjust the Scent Intensity: If the scent is too strong, remove a few reeds. Conversely, add more reeds for a stronger aroma.

  5. Keep an Eye on the Oil Level: Reed diffusers typically last for several weeks, but the duration may vary depending on room size, temperature, and the number of reeds used. Refill the bottle as needed to maintain the desired scent level.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Reed Diffuser

  • Use Fewer Reeds in Smaller Spaces: In smaller rooms, such as bathrooms or closets, start with fewer reeds to avoid overwhelming the space with too much fragrance.

  • Regularly Flip the Reeds: To maintain a consistent scent, flip the reeds regularly. This will refresh the fragrance and ensure an even diffusion throughout the room.

  • Protect Surfaces: Place your reed diffuser on a coaster or tray to protect surfaces from any potential spills.

  • Avoid Mixing Scents: If you decide to change the fragrance oil, it’s best to use new reeds. Mixing scents can result in an unintended fragrance blend.

How Often Should You Flip the Reeds?

Flipping your reed sticks every so often provides a fresh burst of fragrance and helps prevent the reeds from getting clogged. We recommend doing this around once a week or every two weeks.

To do this, take the reeds out and put the dry end into the vessel. Do this over a sink or trash can to avoid dripping oil onto your table or furniture. Use a tissue when holding the reeds to keep your fingers from getting oily.

 

When Should You Replace the Reeds?

High-quality reed diffuser sticks can last up to six months, but you may notice the scent beginning to fade after the first month. This happens because dust and other impurities can accumulate in the sticks over time, obstructing the proper diffusion of the fragrance oil.

For best results, we recommend switching out your diffuser reeds every 2 to 3 months.

 

If you haven’t tried reed diffusers yet, they’re definitely worth exploring. They’re simple to use, long-lasting, require little maintenance, and are ideal for adding a festive and welcoming touch to your home during the holiday season.
