Reed diffusers are increasingly becoming popular and used by many consumers. They are safe, do not need to be lit, are eco-friendly, do not consume energy, and are made from recyclable materials. They come in wide varieties and types. You may get the diffuser ready to use, or you may have to pour in your choice of diffuser oil. The oil is usually a fragrance or essential oil mixed with a carrier oil that is poured into the diffuser. Then the sticks are dipped into the vessel for the diffuser to do its work.

Benefits Of Using Reed Diffusers

Scented candles and reed diffusers are both popularly used for their ability to make any room and space smell fantastic. Both are inexpensive and very easy to use, but many consumers prefer reed diffusers due to certain reasons that place them above scented candles.

Here are some benefits of reed diffusers over other types available in the market.

No Flame

Since reed diffusers work by absorption and evaporation and only require dipping reed sticks into fragrant oil, there is no need to light anything. The reed sticks don’t need a match stick, and neither do they need any supervision. You can come home to a deliciously smelling house the moment you enter without making any effort.

No Power Source

As explained above, reed sticks only need a vessel with the essential oil within which they are dipped. There is no need for a power source. It is quite simple and straightforward. There is no wastage of electricity and no need to place the diffuser near a socket.

Environmentally Friendly

Since the reed sticks do not need to be lit, there is no soot production or smoke released from the reed diffuser, making them eco-friendly options. They are also made from recyclable materials such as glass for vessel which can later be reused or recycled. Rattan reed sticks are 100% plant-based and are biodegradable; hence they can easily be disposed of without contributing to pollution.

Safe And Healthy

Reed sticks do not need to be lit; therefore, there is no danger of an open flame or a fire hazard. For this reason, reed sticks are considered the safer and healthier alternative. Reed diffusers do not release soot or other toxins from burning; therefore, they are safer to inhale. Hotels and restaurants prefer to use reed diffusers since there is no fire hazard, and they can be used without the need for supervision. Reed diffusers can be used overnight during sleep, whereas scented candles should not be left unattended.

Longer Lasting

Reed diffusers disperse a gentle and mild fragrance into the air. A standard 100 ml bottle lasts a month or more, while reed sticks last about 6 months. The vessel can always be refilled with the fragrant oil of your choice when it runs out.

No Use Of Alcohol

There is no use of alcohol in the reed diffuser, and it does not need to be sprayed or require aerosols. They are simply dipped in the vessel containing your favorite oil and allowed to diffuse through the air.

Consistent And Gentle Fragrance

Reed diffusers tend to give off a subtle but consistent fragrance that is not too overpowering or intense. Depending on where they are placed, they release a gentle whiff into the environment as air circulates between the reed sticks.

Intensity Of Scent Can Be Controlled

Unlike other scent diffusers and candles, the intensity of the reed diffuser scent can be controlled. A typical reed diffuser requires 8-10 diffuser sticks while it is in use. But if you want the scent to be a bit heavier, you can add a couple more sticks to increase the fragrance. In the same way, if you want the scent to be a bit milder, you can reduce the number of sticks resulting in a dimmer fragrance. In scented

candles, this is impossible as once lit, the candle continues to release the same intensity of fragrance as it burns.

Simple And Inexpensive

Reed diffusers are simple and inexpensive. They are long-lasting, and hence they are a good investment. Due to their eco-friendly and safety benefits, reed diffusers are usually the preferred choice of air fresheners over scented candles.
