At Sweet Water Decor, we believe that a beautifully scented home enhances every moment. Reed diffusers are a simple, low-maintenance way to infuse your space with your favorite fragrance, and they don’t require a flame or electricity. To ensure you're getting the best experience with your diffuser, here are some simple tips to optimize your scent and extend its life.

The beauty of reed diffusers lies in their customizable scent strength. If you’re looking for a stronger aroma, simply add more reeds to the diffuser. For an intense fragrance experience, 6 to 8 reeds are typically perfect. If you prefer a subtler, more delicate scent, try using 3 to 4 reeds instead.

Remember, more reeds mean more oil is absorbed, which will diffuse faster. If you want your fragrance to last longer, start with fewer reeds and adjust over time.

Over time, you may notice that the fragrance becomes less noticeable. A quick fix? Flip your reeds! Every 1 to 2 weeks, turn the reeds upside down so the saturated ends are exposed to the air. This refreshes the scent and helps maintain consistent fragrance diffusion. Just be sure to flip them carefully over a sink or paper towel to avoid any oil drips, and wash your hands following.

For optimal performance, place your reed diffuser in a high-traffic area where air circulates freely, like near doorways, hallways, or bathrooms. The airflow helps carry the fragrance throughout the room. However, avoid placing your diffuser near direct sunlight, heat sources, or open windows, as these elements can cause the oil to evaporate faster than usual.
