ROOM SPRAY CARE & SAFETY
Room sprays are the fastest way to scent a space creating instant atmosphere in one or two spritzes. They’re ideal for quick refreshes, small rooms, or layering scent with candles and diffusers.
Room Spray Care Tips
- Shake gently before each use.
- Test fabric on a small area before using on textiles.
- Avoid spraying onto wood, fabric, or leather.
- For stronger scent, use on fabrics.
- Keep away from open flames, heat, and direct sunlight.
- Store upright and away from children and pets.
Room Spray FAQs
What’s the best way to use a room spray?
Spray two to three pumps into open air or directly on fabric after swatch testing. For larger rooms, use a few extra spritzes and let scent circulate naturally.
How long does the scent last?
Scent strength will vary whether it is sprayed into the air or directly on fabric, but may linger for a couple hours.
Can I use room sprays on fabrics?
Yes, after testing. Spray from a distance to avoid staining.
Are room sprays safe for pets and children?
Yes, when used as directed. Let mist settle before pets or children enter the area. Avoid direct contact or spraying near food or water bowls.
How can I make the scent last longer?
Use sprays alongside candles or diffusers for layering. Spritz onto curtains or rugs from a distance; soft surfaces hold scent longer than air alone.
Can room sprays neutralize odors?
Room sprays refresh air and mask mild odors but aren’t chemical odor neutralizers. For lasting scent, pair with a diffuser or candle.
INCENSE CARE & SAFETY
Burning incense is one of the oldest forms of fragrance. It’s simple, meditative, and fills a space with a soft, smoky aroma that lingers.
Incense Care Tips
- Use a heatproof holder on a stable, fire-safe surface.
- Light the tip until it glows, then blow out the flame.
- Allow incense to burn completely and cool before disposing of ash.
- Keep away from drafts, curtains, and flammable objects.
- Burn in a ventilated room.
Keep out of reach of pets and children.
Incense FAQs
How do I properly burn incense?
Light the tip, let it glow, and blow it out so only smoke remains. Place in a holder that catches ash.
How long does incense last?
Each stick burns for about an hour, with fragrance lingering afterward.
Is incense safe for pets or people with allergies?
Always use in a ventilated area. Sensitive pets or people should avoid direct exposure to smoke.
Why does my incense smoke a lot or smell weak?
Excess smoke comes from drafts or humidity. Weak scent often means the incense is old; store it sealed and out of sunlight.
How do I store incense?
Keep sticks or cones in a cool, dry place away from moisture and light to preserve fragrance.
How is incense different from candles or diffusers?
Incense creates atmosphere through smoke; candles and diffusers rely on heat or reeds. It’s the most ephemeral of the three, ideal for intentional moments like a Saturday afternoon, or as a time keeper during a morning routine.
AIR FRESHENER CARE & SAFETY
Air fresheners are the on-the-go version of home fragrance. Hang them in small spaces like cars, closets, or bathrooms for a light, steady scent.
Air Freshener Care Tips
- Hang freely to allow air circulation.
- Avoid direct contact with fabrics, leather, or plastic surfaces.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Store extras in a sealed bag to preserve scent.
Replace every few weeks or as fragrance fades.
Air Freshener FAQs
How long do air fresheners last?
About three to six weeks depending on temperature and airflow.
Are air fresheners safe for pets and children?
Yes, when used correctly. Keep out of reach and avoid direct contact with skin or surfaces pets touch.
Do air fresheners eliminate odors or just mask them?
They provide fragrance to refresh air but do not neutralize odors at a chemical level.
Can I adjust scent strength?
Yes, by removing the air fresheners from plastic packaging gradually. The less exposed, the lighter and longer-lasting the scent.
How do air fresheners compare to candles or diffusers?
Air fresheners are subtle and portable. Candles give warmth and stronger throw, while diffusers offer steady scent for weeks.
