So, you've got your new
kit of reed diffusers, complete with the
bottle of fragrance, now what? While the
obvious thing to do is put the reeds into
the oil, there are quite a few little
tips that will allow you to make the most
of your new fragrance dispenser.
- When you first
receive a new kit, be sure to
swirl the reed diffuser oil
before using. This will help all
the ingredients mix and you`ll
have a smoother flow of aroma.
This is particularly true with
blends like a pumpkin pie scent
where more than one smell is
included.
- Let your reeds
soak for 15 minutes the first
time, then flip them over. This
allows the oil to penetrate the
reed channels faster and you`ll
be enjoying that new scent far
sooner.
- Flipping the reeds
every week will help keep the
scent strong throughout the room.
It`s a good idea to use a piece
of tissue to hold the reed if you
don`t want the oil to get on your
fingers. Remember that it's all
through the reeds, so the
outsides will be somewhat oily.
- By flipping less
often, you can extend the life of
the reed diffuser oil and keep
the scent fairly low key. Flip
more often for a stronger aroma,
but be prepared to replace the
oil sooner, as well.
- Another way to
increase the amount of fragrance
being released is to add more
reeds. Each one will boost the
amount of oil being lifted out of
the jar and released into the
air. Likewise, reducing the
number of reeds will result in a
lesser scent, ideal for a more
subtle environment or smaller
rooms like a small guest room or
bathroom.
- Swirl the oil once
or twice a week to give the scent
a little "kick".
Reed diffusers are a great
alternative to regular methods of
scenting and if you know how to use them
properly, you`ll be able to create
exactly the type of aromatic environment
that you want to be in. It`s all a matter
of knowing how many reeds to use and when
to flip them.
