What is a calming diffuser?
Designed to reduce common signs of cat stress such as scratching, urine spraying, hiding and stress caused by home changes. Using pheromone science, it creates a calming environment by sending calming messages. Pheromones are natural chemicals released by animals (and people) that help members of the same species to communicate. Pheromone diffusers, sprays, and other products mimic these chemicals to help keep pets calm and relaxed.What’s the best pheromone brand? At Small Door, we recommend pheromone diffusers and sprays made by Feliway for cats, as they are a reputable brand with a history of clinical scientific research.
How long does it take for a diffuser to scent a room?
Spread out the reeds: Position the reeds so they are well spaced apart and not sticking together. It will take around 24-hours for the fragrance to be fully absorbed by the reeds before it can start to diffuse the scent. Give your reed diffuser some breathing room, for optimal fragrance diffusion place it in an open area. Cluttered or enclosed spaces can hinder the scent from spreading effectively. Clear surfaces like countertops, open shelves and tables work best.While essential oils offer numerous benefits, inhaling them continuously throughout the night can lead to overexposure, which may cause: Headaches – Some individuals may be sensitive to prolonged essential oil exposure. Nausea – Strong scents, when inhaled for extended periods, can sometimes cause nausea or discomfort.While it’s safe to have an essential oil diffuser on during waking hours, you should actually turn it off while you’re asleep. That way, you won’t inhale too much of the essential oils and you also won’t run the risk of any unsafe electrical problems during the night.Don’t Place Near Fans or Sunlight You would think placing your diffuser near a fan would be helpful in spreading the fragrance around, but it actually does the opposite. Instead, it causes the oil to quickly evaporate, with the scent disappearing with it. The same goes with a heat source or direct sunlight.And for those asking, ‘Is it okay to sleep next to a diffuser? Absolutely! Some scents, like lavender, even encourage deeper sleep for longer periods. So, now that you’ve decided what room to place your diffuser in, it’s time to choose a scent!
