Choosing The Right Amount Of Fragrance Oil For Reed Diffusers

Reed diffusers are a popular way to fragrance your home. They work by absorbing oil through microscopic channels in the reed sticks, which then release the oil into the air. The amount of oil you use will depend on the size of your diffuser and the strength of fragrance you want to achieve. You can make your own reed diffuser by mixing 15% fragrance oil with 85% diffuser base, or by adding 2-3 teaspoons of essential oil to 60ml of Augeo Clean Multi.

Reed diffuser base: mix 15% fragrance oil with 85% diffuser base

Reed diffusers are a safe and natural way to fragrance your home. The sticks are full of microscopic channels that absorb the oil and push it towards the top of the reed. Once the oil reaches the end of the channel, it is released into the air, circulating the scent around the space.

To make your own reed diffuser, you will need a glass container, reed sticks, your chosen fragrance oil, and a diffuser base. Mix your fragrance oil with the diffuser base at a proportion of 15% fragrance to 85% base. You can heat the oil at a low temperature (never more than 40°C) to help the oil and base combine. Then, pour the mixture into your glass container and insert the reed sticks.

You can also add essential oils to your reed diffuser. A blend of 2-3 teaspoons (5-10 ml) of essential oils to ¼ cup (60 ml) of diffuser base is recommended.

Essential oils: use 2-3 teaspoons of essential oil blend with 60ml of Augeo Clean Multi

When making a stick diffuser, you will need to use 2-3 teaspoons of essential oil blend with 60ml of Augeo Clean Multi. This is a general rule of thumb, but you can adjust the amount of essential oil depending on how strong you want the fragrance to be. It's important to note that the diffusion technique for stick diffusers involves heating the essential oils at a low temperature (never more than 40°C) and allowing them to diffuse naturally.

To make your own stick diffuser, simply mix your desired fragrance oil with a reed diffuser base at a proportion of 15% fragrance to 85% base. Then, pour the base into a glass container and insert the reed sticks. The sticks are full of microscopic channels that absorb the oil and push it towards the top, releasing the fragrance into the air. This method provides a continuous fragrance that is perfect for any space and is safe to use in homes, schools, nursing homes, and many other places.

Heating: heat essential oils at a low temperature (never more than 40°C)

Heating essential oils should be done at a low temperature, never exceeding 40°C. This is because heating essential oils at a higher temperature can cause them to lose their therapeutic properties and aroma.

To heat essential oils, you can use a diffuser, such as a reed diffuser. Reed diffusers are a safe and effective way to heat essential oils and disperse their fragrance into the air. When using a reed diffuser, it is important to use the correct ratio of essential oil to carrier oil or diffuser base. The recommended ratio is 15% essential oil to 85% carrier oil or diffuser base. However, this may vary depending on the thickness of the essential oil and the viscosity of the carrier oil. For thick fragrances, such as vanilla, a lower ratio of essential oil (25%) is recommended.

When heating essential oils, it is also important to use a carrier oil that has a high smoke point, such as fractionated coconut oil, sweet almond oil, or safflower oil. This will help prevent the oil from burning and producing smoke.

Additionally, it is recommended to use alcohol- and phthalate-free carrier oils and diffuser bases to avoid potential health risks associated with these chemicals.

Coconut base: use a coconut base with essential and natural fragrance oils

If you are using a thick fragrance, such as vanilla, you should use a lower proportion of fragrance oil (around 25%). You can also add a small amount of alcohol to help the fragrance disperse.

When using essential oils, you may need to experiment to find the right amount of fragrance oil for your desired strength. Some people recommend using around 20 drops of essential oil, but this may not be strong enough for some people. You can also try using a combination of different essential oils to create a unique scent.

Safety: diffuser sticks are flame-free, making them safe for use at home, in schools and in nursing homes

Diffuser sticks are flame-free, making them safe for use at home, in schools and in nursing homes. They are also safe to use around children and pets.

To use a diffuser stick, you simply mix your desired fragrance oil with a diffuser base at a proportion of 15% fragrance to 85% base. You can also use a combination of DPG and fragrance oils, but be aware that this may clog your reed sticks and prevent the oil from being volatile. It is recommended to use lighter oils such as fractionated coconut oil, sweet almond oil, or safflower oil.

Once you have mixed your fragrance oil and base, you can pour the mixture into a glass container and insert the reed sticks. You can also add a couple of teaspoons of rubbing alcohol to help release the fragrance.

It is important to note that the strength of your fragrance and the viscosity of your oils will affect the level of fragrance released by the diffuser sticks. Therefore, it is recommended to test different levels to find the right balance for your desired scent.
