Reed diffusers are a popular way to add fragrance to your home without the need for flames or electricity. However, it’s important to remember that reed diffusers can also pose some safety concerns if not used correctly. Here are some tips to help you enjoy your favourite scents safely.
- Keep diffusers out of reach of children and pets: Reed diffusers are generally safe to use, but the liquid inside can be toxic if ingested. To prevent accidents, make sure to keep diffusers out of reach of children and pets.
- Place diffusers on a stable surface: Make sure to place your diffuser on a stable surface that won’t easily tip over. This will help to prevent spills and accidents.
- Avoid placing diffusers near heat sources: Heat sources such as candles, stoves, or heaters can cause the liquid in the diffuser to evaporate quickly, which could lead to over-saturation of the reeds and possibly cause a fire.
- Keep diffusers away from open flames: Reed diffusers do not require an open flame like candles, but it’s still important to keep them away from any open flames, such as a lit fireplace, candles, or gas stove.
- Use in well-ventilated areas: Reed diffusers release fragrance into the air, but it’s important to use them in well-ventilated areas to prevent the concentration of fragrance from becoming too strong.
- Use the appropriate amount of reeds: The more reeds you use, the stronger the fragrance will be. However, using too many reeds can cause the fragrance to become overpowering and may even spill the liquid. We recommend using no more than 8-10 reeds at a time.
By following these reed diffuser safety tips, you can enjoy your favourite scents while keeping your home and family safe. With proper care and attention, your reed diffuser will continue to fill your home with your favourite Wicks Way fragrance for months to come!
