Using Reed Diffusers In Your Home

By Susan Cooper


Would you prefer to come home to a stuffy house, which smells like last night's dinner, or would you rather walk into a hallway that smells of jasmine? Most people would agree on the pleasant smelling house and choose to use reed diffusers throughout the house for exactly that purpose. They allow you to select a custom scent to fragrance your home.

Using a diffuser instead of burning a candle or incense is somewhat safer as the fire risk is removed. The variety of fragrance and fragrance combination choices is enormous, with options to suit every room in the house, from the entry hall to the basement. Some people might opt for a simple, elegant floral scent, while others would select a citrus and coconut combination to remind them of an exotic holiday location. Each room could have a different fragrance if you so choose.

Most shops will have a fair selection of oils and diffusers, as well as carrying spare reeds. With such a lot of choice, it will be a simple job to find the right diffuser for each room. In most cases the bottle, reeds and oils will be sold as a unit, but there are some stores that will carry separate oils allowing you to pick what you like.

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.

Before your diffuser is used, uncork the little bottle carefully, making sure not to spill any of the oil as it may cause damage to certain surfaces and put your reeds in it. Keep the bottle out of reach of animals and children and let it stand on a coaster or saucer to protect the surface.

Leave the diffuser vessel standing near an open window or in an area that there is a flow of air to allow the wonderful scent of your oil to distribute through the room. Without being overpowered, you will soon be able to enjoy the wonderful fragrance you selected.

If you feel that you can no longer smell the scents, or the smell is too weak, simply remove the reeds carefully and turn them over. Insert the other side into the oil and allow the process to start again. Over time they will become dusty or clogged and stop working. In that case, put new reeds into the bottle. If you need to refill the oil, wash the glass bottle properly with soapy water, allow to dry and fill with oil and new reeds.

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.
