Reed Diffuser Sticks Can Be Reused?

In this article, JINGYAN will answered the question of  “ Can I reuse diffuser reeds?” Plus we also explain the importance of replacing your reed diffuser regularly should you choose to preserve your favorite scents for as long as possible.

Except wanting to know “Are reed diffuser safe?” one common question for first-time reed diffuser user is: Can I reuse diffuser reeds?

The answered is “No, the reeds can not be reuse.” So why exactly can you not reuse diffuser reeds? 

The reason you cant reuse diffuser reeds

 

Essentially, it comes down to the way of reed stick work. For the rattan stick, it made of rattan and which have small porous channels that run the entire length, much like a wick. Using capillary action, the oil wicks up from the bottle straight, filling the channels until it reaches the tip of the reed where it evaporates the scent into the air.

In the other words, once you put the reed stick into the oil, what you soak is what you get. It’s merely because the reeds are already fused with the original oil. Sure, it’s possible to use them with another new reed diffuser but it will mix 2 fragrance and you will not get a pure smell of the new fragrance through the reuse reeds. 

When should we replace the reeds?

Generally speaking, diffuser reeds last from 2-8 months, which can vary drastically due to things like the size of the bottle and the quality of the oil. You should flipping the reeds every two or three weeks. Please note, the faster you flip the diffuser reeds, the faster the oil will evaporate.

If you find your reed diffuser no longer puts out the same scent it once did, but there’s still a lot of oil left in the bottle, this might be time to purchase new diffuser reeds. Some times, dust can clog the ends, blocking the fragrance from escaping and scenting the home. But by replacing the reeds, your oil diffuser is as good as new! 

How to use reed diffuser

Replace reeds

When purchasing a package of fresh new reeds, look a rattan reed stick. JINGYAN supply rattan reeds in both natural and colored sticks to matching the different bottle design and fragrance it comes with.

 A friendly suggestion to avoid bamboo reeds. Bamboo stick are constructed differently with small nodes that can often black the oil from diffusing out of the top as efficiently as it should.

In addition, don’t feel bad about the disposing of the rattan reeds. They are Eco-friendly and made of sustainable rattan-like woods. And any remaining oils are completely natural and safe to dispose of straight into the trash.
