A diffuser is a lovely way to keep your home smelling beautiful, and many people like to have one running in the bedroom in the evening. So can you leave it on overnight? Here are a few things to think about.
If you have pets
Animals can be more sensitive to scent than we are, and curious pets may knock over or chew a bottle. If you share your home with pets:
- Check the product label and ask your vet before using a diffuser around them.
- Keep diffusers and oil bottles up high and out of reach.
- Make sure pets can leave the room if they want to.
Using a diffuser in the bedroom
A little scent goes a long way, especially in a smaller, closed room. A few simple habits help:
- Start on a low setting. With a kirri Element, Beacon or Pillar diffuser, we suggest starting on delicate and increasing slowly if you'd like more.
- Run it in shorter bursts rather than all night. In the kirri app you can set a schedule so it comes on in the evening and switches itself off.
- Let some fresh air in during the day, and keep the diffuser on a stable surface away from the edge of a bedside table.
kirri diffusers are waterless: the fragrance oil bottle screws straight in, so there's no water tank to fill or empty before bed.
Conclusion
Used sensibly, a diffuser can give your bedroom a soft, welcoming scent at the end of the day. Keep the setting gentle, use a schedule, and take extra care if you have pets.
