3) Reed diffusers are safer and healthier than many types of scented products. Reed diffusers, quite simply, do not make use of flame. This is not only safer, as it means that reed diffusers do not pose a fire risk, but it is also healthier.
Well, the answer comes down to several variables, from the types of reeds being used to how often they are being used. However, when you buy a diffuser, you can expect the reeds to last approximately six months. This could be sooner, depending on how it's treated, but six months is the general rule.
1 — All you have to do is fill your diffuser vase with 3.5 ounces of liquid carrier oil like coconut oil (or even baby oil!). 2 — Next, you'll add 3 to 5 drops of your favorite essential oil blend to the vase. 3 — Now you'll insert 5 to 7 of the rattan reeds into the vase, and you're all set!
In general, a reed diffuser can be used in almost any location. The oils require no chemicals or propellants to release the fragrance, so it can be a safe option for every home, as well as health facilities, education buildings, and shared workspaces.
With a diffuser, even the tiniest bottle of essential oil can last longer than a whole candle since you only need 10 or so drops each time. And if you get tired of smelling the same scent day in and day out, you can easily change it up by mixing a few together.
If you have topped up your diffuser with a refill and the reeds are completely saturated, or if they are no longer diffusing/giving off scent, they may have become clogged with dust. Best thing to do is to replace them with new reeds to get the scent rolling again.
Whenever you notice the scent fading a bit or want an extra burst of fragrance. You should flip the reeds about once per week. However, don't flip them too often as the more often you flip your reeds the faster the oil will disperse.
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.
How many reeds should I put in a diffuser? To diffuse plenty of scent, 10 to 12 reeds tends to be about optimal but you can put as many reeds as will fit through the neck of the bottle. If the bottle neck is a little wider, feel free to add a few more to fill out the space.
Flip Your Reeds Regularly Typically, you should flip the reeds once per week. However, it all depends on both the quality of the oil and reed. Homesick reed diffusers should be flipped every two to three weeks to keep the scent fresh. Our oil is exceptionally well-made and will hold the scent in a stick for far longer.
