Time for a Change: Replacing Your Reed Diffuser

Reed diffusers and diffuser sticks are a simple way to add a nice, lasting smell to any room. Still, even the best diffusers, such as those from Our Time, need some freshening up now and then to work their best. It's important to know when to change or refill your diffuser. This will help you enjoy its aroma longer. Here’s what you need to know to keep your space smelling good all the time.

How Do Reed Diffusers Work?

Reed diffusers have fibre reeds placed in a bottle of fragrance oil. The reeds soak up the oil. This makes the scent rise through the reed and spread in the air. Our Time diffusers use top-quality oils. They offer up to 16 weeks of lasting fragrance with each 100-ml bottle. This makes them a stylish and long-lasting choice for your home.

Benefits of Our Time Reed Diffusers

Our Time’s reed diffusers come in 19 different scents. They last for up to four months. This means you can fill your space with lovely smells without having to flip the reeds all the time. They also have 150ml refill bottles for your favourite scents. This lets you easily refill your diffuser when needed.

Signs It’s Time to Change or Refresh Your Reed Diffuser

1. Weak or Fading Scent

A clear sign that it's time to refresh your diffuser oil is when you notice a drop in fragrance. If the scent from your Reed diffuser has become weak, it might be due to natural evaporation. Before you buy a refill for your Reed diffuser, try flipping the diffuser reeds. This can help bring back some scent by letting a fresh part of the reed soak up the oil.

Note: Our Time diffusers do not need to be flipped often. To keep the oil lasting longer, only turn the reeds if you want a stronger fragrance.

2. Empty or Low Oil Level

If the fragrance oil is looking low, it's time to get a refill. Our Time reed diffusers last about 16 weeks, so check the bottle now and then. Look to see if the oil is almost at the bottom near the stopper. Our Time has refills in the same 19 fragrances as their original diffusers. This way, you can enjoy your favourite scent without needing to buy a whole new set.

3. Dry or Blocked Reeds

Over time, dust and air particles can get stuck in the reeds. This makes it difficult for them to absorb the oil properly. If you smell less of the scent and the oil level is mostly the same, the reeds might be the problem.

Solution: Change the reeds for a new set. Our Time has great-quality reeds that soak up fragrance well. However, if they get blocked, just turning them may not help bring back the scent.

4. Stale or Unpleasant Aroma

If the fragrance starts to smell funny or old, it probably means the oil has gone bad. Keeping it in bright sunlight or moving it between hot and cold temperatures can change the scent of your diffuser oil. If this happens, just get a new refill and fresh reeds for a wonderful experience.

Our Time Diffuser Maintenance Tips

To make your diffuser last longer, here are some helpful maintenance tips for Our Time diffusers.

1. Choose an Ideal Location

Placing your reed diffuser in the right spot can make it last longer. Stay away from areas with too much air flow or direct sunlight. These can make the oil evaporate quickly. Also, keep it away from heat sources. Good places for your Our Time Reed diffuser are bathrooms, bedrooms, and living rooms. This way, you can enjoy a steady aroma without losing too much of the oil.

2. Opt for Regular but Minimal Reed Flipping

With Our Time diffusers, you don’t need to flip them all the time. Flipping your reeds every few weeks instead of every day keeps the scent fresh and saves the oil. If you want a stronger fragrance when guests come over, a quick flip will give you a boost.

3. Room Size and Airflow Considerations

Think about the size of your room when you use your diffuser. A single diffuser is good for small to medium rooms. Bigger spaces might need more than one diffuser. To spread the fragrance evenly, Our Time says to put your diffusers where the air flows nicely, but not too strongly.

Reed Diffuser FAQs

Q1: How often should I replace my reeds?

Reeds usually last as long as the oil in your diffuser. However, they can become blocked after a while. If you refill your Our Time diffuser, it is a smart choice to replace the reeds every few months.

Q2: Can I reuse my diffuser bottle?

Sure. First, clean your bottle before adding a refill. This will help keep it looking fresh. To get the best results, use new reeds with it. Our Time’s diffuser vases and refill oils make it simple to make your original diffuser last longer.

Q3: Do I need to use the same fragrance for refills?

You can try new scents, but mixing fragrances can create a surprising aroma. For the best experience, Our Time has all refills in the same fragrance range as the original diffusers. This way, you can enjoy a consistent aroma each time.
