SOSA · Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Bahru
A welcome guests remember in Malaysia
Airbnbs and homestays are popular across Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Melaka, and a clean, welcoming scent is part of the first impression.

The short answer
Scent the space guests walk into first. In an Airbnb or homestay, that is usually the living area: Vaayu if it is one large connected room, Pawan if it is compact. Keep the intensity light, set the schedule at the property, and check the oil at every changeover.
Your plan
Step by step
- The arrival room. Scent the living area guests enter first; bedrooms only if you choose.
- Keep it light. Guests vary, so a soft, clean scent at a low setting suits most.
- Set the schedule on site. Set the run window in the SOSA app while you are at the property.
- Check at changeover. Look at the oil level and wipe the machine as part of the turnover routine.
- Tell guests. Add a line to the house manual on what it is and how to switch it off.
In Malaysia
What changes in Malaysia
Humid, air-conditioned rooms
Malaysia is warm and humid year-round; bedrooms and living rooms are often air-conditioned, with windows closed while the AC runs.
Short-stay rules
Short-stay rules differ between states and buildings in Malaysia, and some condos limit short lets, so check what applies to your property.
Delivery and plugs
Orders to Malaysia usually arrive in about a week. Sockets in Malaysia are Type G, so Pawan, which plugs straight into the wall, usually needs a plug adapter. Ask us which one before you order.

Questions
Before you choose
Will guests find it too strong?
Not at a low setting on a schedule. Your house manual can tell guests how to switch it off if they prefer.
How often should I check the oil?
At every changeover, along with wiping the machine. That keeps each arrival the same.
Do you deliver to Malaysia?
Yes. Orders to Malaysia usually arrive in about a week. Sockets in Malaysia are Type G, so Pawan, which plugs straight into the wall, usually needs a plug adapter. Ask us which one before you order.
What should I send you for a recommendation?
A floor plan or rough sketch, the size of each room, ceiling height, which doors stay closed, where the sockets are, the hours the space is used and the scents you like. Photos help too.
Not sure which one?
