How to use reed diffuser sticks

There are several different types of reed sticks, each with their own unique characteristics and uses.

Choosing which type of reed sticks to use should be based on personal preference, usage scenarios and scent needs.
Natural rattan stick and fiber stick are common choices, each with their own unique characteristics

Fiber stick
Fiber sticks usually have greater absorption and dispersal capabilities, providing a more strong scent diffusion.
Fiber sticks may be more durable because they don’t break down as easily as natural materials.

Fiber stick may offer a more modern look, while decorative rattan stick can be used as part of interior decorating
Fiber stick may be better suited for large spaces that require fast and strong scent diffusion

Rattan stick
Naturally porous and effective at absorbing and diffusing scent, but may not diffuse as quickly or as strongly as fiber stick
Rattan usually has a more traditional look and is suitable for those who prefer a more natural look.
Rattan stick may be better suited to smaller spaces or where a subtle scent is desired.

All types of reed sticks need to be turned or shaken regularly to ensure a consistent and even spread of scent.

Fiber stick may require more frequent turning due to their greater absorption capacity.

How to use reed diffuser sticks
First, insert the reed stick into a container of aromatherapy oils, making sure that the stick is able to fully absorb the oils.
Then, wait for some time for the reed stick to draw up the oils by capillary action and disperse them naturally into the air.
If you want to enhance the scent, you can turn the reed stick over periodically so that the un-oiled end of the rattan can also absorb and emit the scent.
Note: the more sticks using, the faster and stronger the scent will be, and the shorter the duration of use will be.

To use the reed diffuser,  each steps as follows:

Insert the reed stick: Insert the reed stick into the diffuser bottle, making sure the bottom of the reed stick is completely submerged in the diffuser liquid, and then flip the reed stick over so that the dry end is also submerged in the liquid to start the scent release process quickly.

Wait for the scent to diffuse: It takes time for the sticks to absorb the diffuser liquid and usually after 1 day you will start to feel the scent of the essential oils.

Turn the stick regularly: To maintain the strength of the scent, it is recommended to turn the sticks every 3 to 4 days to prevent them from drying out and to ensure that the scent continues to diffuse.

Replenish the diffuser: If you notice that the scent is starting to fade, check the amount of diffuser left in the container and replenish it at the right time to maintain the ratio of carrier oil to essential oil.

Replace the sticks: Replace the sticks when they are completely saturated or when the scent has diminished, usually once a month or when they are observed to be completely saturated with oil.

Ensure that the sticks are turned over and the diffuser is gently stirred periodically during use to maintain even distribution and intensity of the scent.

Also, place the diffuser in a well-ventilated area, but avoid direct sunlight, air-conditioning and windows to prolong the duration of the scent.

How long do reed diffuser sticks last

How long do reed diffuser sticks last: reed diffusers can continue to emit scent for up to three months and sometimes up to six months. Over time, the performance of the reed stick will decrease as it dries out.

The duration of reed diffuser sticks is not fixed and is affected by some factors, including the number and quality of the sticks, the concentration of the oils, and environmental factors.

Generally speaking, the more reeds you have, the faster the scent will be emitted, but the duration of use will also be shortened accordingly.

Meanwhile, the quality and concentration of the aroma oil will also affect the length of use of rattan aromatherapy sticks. In a good environment, rattan aromatherapy sticks can last for weeks or even months.

To prolong the life of a reed diffuser, try turning the reed sticks over periodically so that the unoiled end of the reed stick can also absorb and emit the scent.

In addition, keeping the room ventilated will also help the oils evaporate, thus making the scent last longer.

Overall, the length of time that a reed diffuser stick can be used varies depending on a number of factors, but usually lasts anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.

How many reed diffuser sticks should i use
