So which to choose? Bamboo or Rattan? These are the two types of reeds<\/a> available in the market that are suggested for reed diffuser usage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While bamboo does the job, the rattan is the easy winner here and widely preferred because of its ability to hold the fragrance for a longer period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are investing in a quality organic essential oil<\/a> that is synthetic-free, phthalate-free, paraben-free, paraffin-free and is alcohol-free, you are probably spending a pretty penny for it and I am guessing you want your money’s worth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can’t get your hands on the rattan type, simple bamboo skewers are your next best bet. Just make sure that your carrier for the essential oil is water and not any other oil.<\/p>\n\n\n The throw is the strength of fragrance-release from an object especially meant to give off fragrance. There are two kinds- cold and hot throw. Reed diffusers<\/a> possess cold throw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want the best fragrance throw, <\/strong>Rattan reeds are the ones to use. The key to getting the best out of your reed sticks is to use the right type of oils and carriers, and of course, maintaining them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you clean them from any dust by wiping them down gently with a lint-free napkin or cloth. Throw also depends on varying factors :<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal conditions for a reed stick’s optimal effect is a closed, cool room with no draft or humidity and an organic, toxin-free essential oil mix with no carrier oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is usually the best way, but it gets expensive because you could run out of essential oil and may need to top up with new bottles. That is why a carrier oil is suggested<\/a> to make your essential oil inventory last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our full review on Best Reed Diffusers For Large Room<\/a> and Best Lavender Reed Diffusers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reed stick has tiny channels running through its entire length. These channels act as tunnels through which the oils travel through, thereby filling the stick with fragrant oil, and diffusing the scent into the surrounding space where it is placed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Commercial reed diffusers come with a glass jar that you have to fill with the oil they provide, that has been pre-mixed and kept ready to use. You may or may not get complimentary refill sticks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our suggestion is to buy the rattan reed sticks in bulk and make your mix using organic essential oils that you can source from known sellers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you opt for commercial reed diffusers, be prepared to shell out a lot of money for the top quality, non-toxic ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever you do, do not compromise your health for a few extra bucks you feel good about saving. You get what you pay for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Things you need, to construct an eco-friendly reed diffuser at home<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a list of the different types of home fragrance supplies and their pros and cons compared to the reed diffusers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more: Are Candles Eco-Friendly<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Need I say more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Are](\"https:\/\/housefragrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Are-Reed-Diffusers-Eco-friendly-800.jpg\")
