How do I clean up a spill from a reed diffuser?
Cleaning up a reed diffuser spill requires immediate attention to minimize damage and lingering odors. Start by ensuring proper ventilation—open windows or turn on a fan to allow airflow. To protect your skin from potential irritation or allergic reactions caused by the oils, wear gloves during the cleanup process. First, blot the spilled oil with a paper towel or absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the oil further. If the spill is on carpet, apply a small amount of dish soap to the area using a paper towel, then sprinkle baking soda over the stain. Let the baking soda sit overnight to absorb the remaining oil and odor. Vacuum the area the next day and inspect for any lingering residue. Dispose of all cleaning materials, including paper towels, cloths, and gloves, in a sealed plastic bag to contain the smell. Prompt and thorough cleanup ensures your space remains fresh and free of long-lasting stains or odors.
