Post by: bowrunner on August 05, 2014, 02:36:11 pm: I mostly only use candles when the electric goes out. I would be very afraid that I would forget to blow out a candle before I went to bed.

Post by: vickysue on August 05, 2014, 03:08:37 pm: Because of the strong scents I rarely use any of those. But I have made my own candles using an old oil lamp with some dried fruits and lightly scented lamp oil. works great and I don't have to worry about candles as these have a globe on them. Also works great if the electric goes out.

Post by: misi49 on August 05, 2014, 10:51:34 pm: I never use candles. I'm too afraid I would set the house on fire. I always use Glade Solid Air Fresheners to help keep my home smelling fresh at all times.

Post by: xnights on August 06, 2014, 02:42:47 am: I love scented candles. Use them in the winter mostly, when the power goes out. I never can sleep thru an outage anyways, kinda of a fraddy cat! So I check on the candles all night.

Post by: jkhanson on August 06, 2014, 04:22:40 am: I don't like candles. I guess I am nervous about fires.

I like the Glade Air Fresheners that spray at intervals.

I have some of the plug in oil fresheners too.

Post by: articx on August 06, 2014, 07:46:11 am: I choose air fresheners so I won't have to worry about anything happening with the fire on a candle.
Title: Re: candles or air fresheners
Post by: LenoraMinogue on August 06, 2014, 07:53:36 am: I love to use both candles and air fresheners, depending on my mood and what's going on that day. Sometimes it is also a little safer to use air fresheners around, especially with small children around. I also like to use incense in the home for some variety.

Title: Re: candles or air fresheners
Post by: yaayme on August 06, 2014, 09:59:21 am: I love large scented candles, but the good quality ones can be very expensive, so I don't buy them as often as I would like. I use fragrant oil burners instead.

Post by: clickers on August 06, 2014, 10:00:42 am: I like candles in the winter and glade in the other months.

Post by: devideddi on August 06, 2014, 11:58:44 am: I used to use candles all the time until one got a little too close to the wall and almost started a fire!! lol
Luckily (it was God) we were all in the room at the time and took care of it quickly! Now no more candles for me!
I use other things, just not candles!! :-X

Post by: bhiett on August 06, 2014, 12:22:36 pm: Fragrances from candles seem to last longer unless the plug-in type of air freshener is used, which allows for a continuous release of scent into the air. Candles are nice for creating a special ambiance at night or for an evening meal. I always keep a generous supply of candles on hand just in case of electrical outages (which has absolutely nothing to do with freshening the air, but just saying...).

Post by: LaTashaS28 on August 06, 2014, 03:43:00 pm: I prefer scented candles over air fresheners, because candles make the whole house smell good for hours. But I still like to have air fresheners around when the candle is not burning

I love candles. Air fresheners that plug-into the wall are dangerous. Spray air fresheners smell good but are sometimes overwhelming. Candles last a long time after they are extingushed.

Title: Re: candles or air fresheners
Post by: Nancy5 on August 11, 2014, 09:02:10 am: I use both. Air Fresheners always, but I burn candles at night when I know we are in for the night. I don't burn them in the daytime because once I left the house fir about 2 hours only to find when I came home I had left one burning!

Post by: PGS28 on August 11, 2014, 10:27:27 am: Depends on the mood; if I need a quick fix I'll spray something, but if I'm feeling serene I will light a scented candle.
