To refresh the fragrance of the reed diffuser, simply repeat steps 2-4. If you want to increase the scent, just flip the sticks. Please remember to always flip diffuser reed sticks over a paper towel and to wipe bottle so no oil drips onto your table/surface. In small spaces, like bathrooms, use less sticks.

Reed diffusers are a great way to add constant fragrance to your home. The diffuser reeds soak up the fragrance oil and disperse the scent into the air. They last until all the fragrance oil evaporates. Diffusers work really well in places where you always want it to smell nice but can’t keep an eye on a candle.

So, you have a new ultrasonic essential oil diffuser to enjoy in the comfort of your home. The instructions included in many of today’s essential oil diffusers recommend that you use tap water in your diffuser because it includes natural minerals that help the water diffuse into a vapor better than distilled water.

Use distilled or demineralized water. Tap water contains minerals that can create deposits inside your humidifier that promote bacterial growth. And, when released into the air, these minerals often appear as white dust on your furniture. You may also breathe in some minerals that are dispersed into the air.

Any scented product, including essential oils, can be an irritate if it is inhaled. You are aiming for a slight hint of scent, rather than a dousing. The usual amount of water held by a diffuser is 100ml, and typically it is recommended to add 3-5 drops of essential oil per 100ml of water.
