1)  Initial Setup
Pour fragrance oil into a clean glass/ceramic container until 2/3 full. Fully submerge reed ends for 15-30 minutes. Reverse sticks to position saturated ends upward.

2) Optimal Placement
Position in ventilated areas away from:
• Direct sunlight/heat sources
• HVAC vents/drafts
• Reach of children/pets
• Electronic devices

3) Maintenance Routine
• Weekly: Rotate sticks 180° (not flip)
• Bi-weekly: Wipe dust with microfiber cloth
• Monthly: Trim 1cm from saturated ends

4) Scent Customization
Adjust intensity using:
• Small container: 3-5 reeds
• Medium: 5-8 reeds
• Large: 8-10+ reeds
Pro Tip: Add bamboo sticks for thicker oils

5) Liquid Management
• Top up when oil reaches 1/3 level
• Never mix different fragrances
• Dispose expired oil: Absorb with clay litter before trash disposal

6) Seasonal Care
• Humid climates: Use 20% fewer sticks
• Dry winters: Add 1-2 extra sticks
• Summer storage: Keep below 25°C/77°F

7) Safety Protocols
• Contains volatile organics – keep 1m from open flames
• Pet warning: Avoid oils containing phenols/ketones
• First aid: Flush eyes/skin with water for 15 minutes

8) Replacement Cycle
Replace reeds when:
• Saturation line stops rising (≈60-90 days)
• Visible crystallization occurs
• Fragrance persists <48hrs after rotation

9) Eco Practices
• Reuse containers with 70% alcohol sterilization
• Compost natural reeds (remove plastic caps)
• Recycle oil bottles through local HDPE programs

Pro Tip:
For entryways, use citrus/herbal scents; bedrooms benefit from lavender/chamomile blends. Rotate fragrances seasonally to prevent olfactory fatigue.
