Flip the reeds over regularly
Flipping the reeds of your diffuser will help disturb the base liquid and fragrance oil if they’ve been stagnant for a while. This will improve the distribution of scent throughout the room. You should aim to flip the reeds of your diffuser weekly or once every couple of weeks to get the most out of the aroma.
 

Place it by an entryway
If you place your reed diffuser in an area of high traffic, it will release more scent as people walk by. Placing a diffuser in a bedroom corner or high on a shelf will restrict how far a scent can reach around the room. An entryway or hallway is the perfect place to put a reed diffuser as your guests will pick up the scent as soon as they enter your home. The breeze as they walk past will help the beautiful fragrance distribute even more.
 

Choose a diffuser that uses natural essential oils
Always choose a reed diffuser scented with essential oils rather than artificial ones. Not only do essential oils tend to smell more appealing, but many people appreciate them for their wellbeing qualities. Essential oils in your reed diffuser may be able to help with:
Relaxation
Improving focus and clarity
Boosting your mood
Encouraging better sleep
With so many essential oils and fragrances out there, you’re guaranteed to find one that takes your fancy.
 

Replace your reeds every so often
The best reeds to use in your diffuser are rattan. Some diffusers use bamboo reeds, however, these tend to clog after a while because of their node-like shape. If you find that your diffuser’s scent is lacking, it could be the reeds rather than the oil. Over time, the reeds simply lose their ability to be able to diffuse scents effectively. Sometimes this can be because they have become clogged with dust and oil. When replacing your reeds, swirl the oil to stir up any stagnant fragrance.
