We've compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you get the most out of your reed diffuser experience.

What is a Reed Diffuser?

A reed diffuser is a simple, elegant way to scent your home continuously. It typically consists of a glass bottle filled with fragrance oil and reeds that absorb the oil and diffuse the scent into the surrounding air.

How Long Do Reed Diffusers Last?

The lifespan of a reed diffuser largely depends on the type of oil used and the conditions of the room where it’s placed. On average, a reed diffuser can last anywhere from one to six months. For long-lasting fragrance, explore our Reed Diffusers collection.

How Can I Make My Reed Diffuser Last Longer?

To extend the life of your reed diffuser, consider the following tips:

Place it away from direct sunlight and drafts to prevent the fragrance from dissipating too quickly.
Flip the reeds periodically to refresh the scent.
Use fewer reeds if you wish to slow the rate of diffusion.

FAQs

What are reed diffusers and how do they work?
Reed diffusers are a popular method for dispersing fragrance into the air. They consist of a container filled with scented oil and reeds that soak up the oil, allowing the fragrance to gently evaporate and fill the room with a pleasant aroma.

How long do reed diffusers last?
The lifespan of a reed diffuser can vary depending on factors like the size of the container, the type of fragrance oil used, and the airflow in the room. Generally, you can expect a reed diffuser to last anywhere from one to six months.

How often should I flip the reeds in my diffuser?
Flipping the reeds every one to two weeks can help to refresh the scent and enhance fragrance diffusion. Ensure that you do so over a sink or towel to avoid any spills.

Can I use essential oils in a reed diffuser?
Yes, you can use essential oils in a reed diffuser, but it’s important to dilute them with a carrier oil or use specially blended diffuser oils to ensure they work effectively and prevent clogging of the reeds.

What should I do if the scent is too strong or too weak?
If the scent is too strong, try removing a few reeds or placing the diffuser in a less airy location. If the scent is too weak, you can add more reeds or consider using a higher concentration of fragrance oil.

Are reed diffusers safe for pets?
Most reed diffusers are safe for pets when used as directed; however, it's essential to ensure that the fragrances used are non-toxic. Always check the ingredients and consult with your veterinarian if you have concerns.

How should I store my reed diffuser when not in use?
When not in use, it’s best to store your reed diffuser in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To prevent any potential spills, make sure the cap is secured tightly if applicable.

Are reed diffusers eco-friendly?
Many reed diffusers are considered eco-friendly, especially those made with natural ingredients and minimal packaging. However, it's always beneficial to check the product specifications to ensure they align with your environmental values.

Can I customise the scent of my reed diffuser?
Yes, many brands offer bases that can be mixed with various fragrance oils, allowing you to create a unique scent that suits your preferences. Experimenting with different combinations can help you find the perfect fragrance blend.
