Augeo Clean Multi: Uses, Benefits & How to Use It
If you make home fragrance products — whether that’s reed diffusers, plug-in diffusers, room sprays or something more creative — you have probably heard people quietly raving about a clear, low-odour solvent called Augeo Clean Multi. It has quickly become a favourite among professional and small-batch makers alike, largely because it behaves beautifully, smells neutral and gives products a more premium feel.
In this guide, we will explore what it is, why it is so popular, how to use it properly, and how it compares to more traditional bases. Whether you are a hobbyist, a small business owner, or simply curious about what makes your favourite diffuser work so well, this article will help you understand exactly why Augeo Clean Multi has become such a big deal.
What is Augeo Clean Multi?
Augeo Clean Multi is a high-performance solvent designed for use in home fragrance products. It is commonly used as a carrier for fragrance oils, allowing scent to disperse evenly and effectively in items like reed diffusers and room sprays.
Unlike many traditional solvents, it is derived from renewable raw materials and has been developed with both performance and environmental impact in mind. It is virtually colourless, has an extremely low odour of its own, and is designed to blend smoothly with fragrance oils without clouding or separating.
This makes it ideal for brands that want their products to look clean, smell true to the fragrance, and feel more refined overall.

Why has it become so popular?
There are plenty of carrier bases on the market, so what makes this one stand out?
One of the main reasons Augeo Clean Multi has become so popular is its neutrality. It does not interfere with the fragrance profile. When you smell a diffuser made with it, you are smelling the fragrance itself — not the base underneath.
Another major advantage is how well it performs in reed diffusers. It has a carefully balanced viscosity, meaning it travels up reeds efficiently without evaporating too quickly. This gives you strong scent throw while also helping the diffuser last longer.
It is also far more pleasant to handle than older solvent bases. It is low in volatility, produces minimal fumes, and feels smoother and less oily on the skin, making the production process safer and more comfortable for makers.
The main benefits of using Augeo Clean Multi
Let’s look at what really makes this ingredient shine.
1. Excellent scent throw
One of the biggest frustrations with diffusers is weak fragrance. Augeo Clean Multi helps fragrance oils travel efficiently up reeds and disperse into the air evenly, producing a more consistent and noticeable aroma.
2. True-to-scent results
Because it has almost no smell of its own, it allows even delicate or complex fragrance blends to perform exactly as intended. Florals smell floral, gourmands stay cosy and warm, and fresh scents stay crisp.
3. Cleaner appearance
It stays clear and stable, which means your diffusers and sprays look more professional. There is less risk of cloudiness or separation, which is important if you sell your products.
4. More sustainable profile
It is made from renewable feedstocks, making it a more eco-conscious choice than many petrochemical-based alternatives.
5. Improved shelf life
Products made with Augeo Clean Multi tend to stay stable for longer, which is especially helpful for small businesses that need stock to remain in good condition.
What can you use it for?
Augeo Clean Multi is incredibly versatile. It is most commonly used in:
Reed diffusers
Room sprays
Car air fresheners
Linen sprays
Scented sachets
Some non-flammable misting products
It is not used for candles, as it is not designed to be burned. Instead, it excels in products where fragrance needs to evaporate slowly and evenly into the air.
How to use it in reed diffusers
Reed diffusers are where Augeo Clean Multi really shines.
A typical formula looks like this:
75–85% Augeo Clean Multi
15-25% fragrance oil
You would weigh both ingredients accurately, combine them in a clean container, and stir gently until fully blended. There is no need to heat it. Once blended, simply pour into your diffuser bottle and insert your reeds. For best results, we recommend letting the blend sit for 2-3 days.
The exact fragrance load depends on how strong you want the scent and how powerful the oil is, but 15% is a very common starting point.
Because Augeo Clean Multi wicks so well, you may find you need fewer reeds than with thicker bases, which also helps slow evaporation and extend product life.
Using it in room and linen sprays
For room and linen sprays, this base works beautifully as a solvent for fragrance oils. See our step-by-step guide to making a room spray for formulation tips and safety considerations.
It helps solubilise fragrance, meaning the oil stays evenly distributed rather than separating and floating on top. This results in a clearer spray, better scent throw, and a more professional finish.
Always make sure your full formulation is tested for stability and safety before selling or using it.
How does it compare to other bases?
Many makers start out using DPM, ethanol or mineral-based diffuser fluids. While these can work, they often come with drawbacks.
Alcohol evaporates very quickly and can create a harsh initial blast that fades fast. Mineral oils are thick and slow, often producing weak scent throw. Some traditional diffuser bases have a noticeable smell of their own, which interferes with fragrance.
Augeo Clean Multi sits in the sweet spot between all of these. It moves easily up reeds, holds fragrance beautifully, and evaporates at a controlled rate, giving a more balanced and longer-lasting result.

Is it safe?
When handled correctly, Augeo Clean Multi is considered safe for use in home fragrance manufacturing. As with all fragrance ingredients, it should be used with proper ventilation, gloves when appropriate, and in accordance with safety data sheets.
Final products must also be assessed for compliance with local regulations, including CLP labelling and IFRA standards when fragrance oils are involved.
Tips for getting the best results
To get the most out of Augeo Clean Multi, keep these tips in mind:
Use high-quality fragrance oils designed for diffusers
Always measure by weight, not volume
Let blends rest for 24–48 hours before bottling so bubbles dissipate
Test different reeds for diffusers as they can affect scent throw and the overall performance of your diffuser.
Store finished products away from direct sunlight and heat
Small tweaks can make a big difference in how your finished product performs.
Final thoughts
Whether you are creating products for yourself or for customers, choosing the right base makes a huge difference. Augeo Clean Multi has earned its reputation because it combines performance, cleanliness and sustainability in one simple ingredient.
It delivers stronger scent throw, better stability, and a more refined experience for both makers and end users. If you have ever struggled with cloudy diffusers, weak fragrance, or harsh-smelling bases, switching to this solvent can be a total game-changer.
As home fragrance continues to evolve, ingredients like Augeo Clean Multi are setting a new standard — one where products smell better, last longer and feel more premium, all while being kinder to the environment.
