FAQs

What is the best type of air freshener for a UK home?

Reed diffusers for long-lasting, low-maintenance fragrance. Ultrasonic diffusers for adjustable intensity. Avoid plug-in air fresheners with synthetic chemicals.

Are essential oil diffusers safe to use at home?

Yes, when used correctly. Avoid running them for more than 30–60 minutes at a time, and keep them away from pets — some essential oils are toxic to cats and dogs.

How long do reed diffusers last?

A 200ml reed diffuser lasts 8–12 weeks. Flip the reeds weekly for consistent fragrance and replace them every 4–6 weeks for best results.
