How long do reed diffusers last?

Reed diffusers are fantastic for adding a constant, subtle fragrance to your home without the need for flames or electricity. But how long do they actually last, and what can you do to extend their lifespan? Here are a few details and tips for how to get the most out of your reed diffuser.

How Do Reed Diffusers Work?

Reed diffusers work through a simple yet effective mechanism. They consist of a bottle or vase filled with scented oil and reed sticks. These sticks soak up the oil and disperse the fragrance into the air, filling your space with your favourite feel good fragrance.

Lifespan of Reed Diffusers

On average, a well-maintained reed diffuser from Aery can last up to 4 months. The exact duration can vary depending on factors like:

• Quality of Ingredients: High-quality oils and reeds tend to last longer and provide a more consistent fragrance.
• Room Temperature: Warmer temperatures can cause the oil to evaporate more quickly, reducing the diffuser’s lifespan.
• Humidity Levels: Higher humidity can also accelerate evaporation.
• Air Circulation: Drafty areas or places with high air circulation may cause the oil to evaporate faster.

Tips to Make Your Reed Diffuser Last Longer

To maximise the lifespan of your reed diffuser, consider these tips:

1. Rotate the Reeds: Flip the reed sticks every week or two to refresh the fragrance and prevent them from drying out.
   Our 200 ml diffusers come with a pack of 10 natural reeds, 100% biodegradable and natural.
   
   
2. Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Sunlight can accelerate the evaporation of the oil. Place your diffuser in a cool, shaded spot for optimal longevity.
   
   
3. Control the Room Temperature: Avoid placing the diffuser near heat sources or in very warm rooms to slow down evaporation.
   
   
4. Use Our Quality Diffusers Refills: Opt for high-quality reed diffuser oils to ensure a longer lasting and more pleasant fragrance experience.
   
   
5. Trim the Reeds: If the reeds become saturated or clogged with dust over time, trim the ends to refresh them and improve fragrance diffusion.
   
   
6. Clean the Bottle: Occasionally wipe down the bottle with a soft cloth to remove any dust or residue that could affect the fragrance.
   
   
7. Use the Right Size Bottle: Choose a bottle or vase that is proportionate to the room size. Larger rooms may require multiple diffusers for a noticeable scent. Our diffuser bottles come in either glass or ceramic and contain 200ml and last up to 2 months.
   
   
8. Be Mindful of Placement: Avoid placing the diffuser on delicate surfaces that could be damaged by the oil. Alternatively, use a coaster or mat underneath if necessary.
