Tips & Best Practices
Q: How often should I flip my reed sticks?
A: Flip your reeds every few days to instantly boost fragrance throw, but keep in mind that doing this more frequently will cause the liquid to evaporate faster.
Q: Where is the best place to put a reed diffuser?
A: Position your diffuser in high-traffic areas with good air circulation—like hallways, entryways, or bathrooms—so air currents naturally carry the scent.
