Choosing Reed Diffusers To Fragrance Your House

By Susan Cooper


Coming back home after a long absence and walking into an entryway filled with the warm and inviting smell of cinnamon provided by your diffusers sounds like a wonderful homecoming. The benefits of using reed diffusers in your home are obvious as they are functional, imparting wonderful fragrances, as well as decorative and attractive.

Nice smelling candles or incense always carry a risk of fire and soot, so the diffuser is definitely a safer choice. You would be hard-pressed to settle on which lovely smell suits which room in your home as the variety of oils is so vast, encompassing everything from floral scents to more exotic combinations. Kitchen, entryway, bathroom and living room could be treated to a different fragrance with the option to change them around as you wish to.

The size and style of diffuser chosen depending on individual needs and taste and they can be found in most stores. You should easily find something that will match your room decor. There is also a vast array of scents and fragrances to choose from, allowing you to match the room and your preferences.

A fragrance diffuser consists of three parts, the rattan reeds, the oils and the container. The container, usually a small glass bottle, will either come with the pleasant smelling oil already in it, along with a small packet of reeds which act as the carrier for the oils, or the oil would be in a separate container for you to refill your glass display bottle. Ensure you keep the refill in a cool dark area to preserve the contents.

To start using your diffuser, insert the reeds into the small bottle. The reeds will gradually absorb oil, allowing the fragrance to permeate the air. Make sure you place the container onto a small plate or mat to prevent surface damage and keep away from pets and young children.

Keep your glass diffuser bottle on a window ledge, or near an air vent. The movement of the air and gentle breezes will diffuse the chosen fragrant oils through the room and leave you to enjoy a fresh smelling home.

The reeds should be carefully flipped over if you need a fresh burst of fragrance or if you think the scent has faded, usually weekly. The reeds can and should be replaced if they become clogged or dusty as this will prevent them from emitting the scent. It is advised to replace the reeds every time you refill the bottle. Before refilling the bottle, wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water and allow it to dry completely.

Be aware that a better quality oil will offer you a much longer lasting result. The cheaper oils that are available on the market will be made with imitation products and not endure, leaving you feeling displeased with the result. Spending the extra money on the genuine oils will ensure that you are able to enjoy the scent you selected as it permeates your house for as long as four months.
