How to Use Scented Candles in Emergencies
At COAX CNDLS, our family-owned business is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality scented candles, wax melts, and room sprays. While we all love enjoying our beautiful melts candles and rich wax scents for relaxation and ambiance, it’s also important to consider their practical uses during emergencies. Here’s how you can safely use scented candles when the unexpected happens.
1. Prepare for Power Outages
During power outages, having a stash of our scented candles can provide light and comfort. Not only do our scented candles illuminate your space, but they also offer soothing aromas like Lavender or invigorating scents like Fresh Berry Crumble, which can help ease stress during challenging times. Ensure you have a few candles readily accessible in an emergency kit to keep your home illuminated and fragrant.
2. Create a Safe Environment
When using scented candles in emergencies, always prioritize safety. Place your melts candles on a stable surface, away from flammable materials. If you’re using a diffuser for room, ensure it’s in an area where it won’t be knocked over. Use tea lights or small scented candles in areas like bathrooms or kitchens where they can add light without the risk of tipping over.
3. Use as a Heat Source
In extreme situations, such as during a winter storm, scented candles can provide a small amount of heat. While they won't replace a heating system, placing several scented candles together can help warm up a small space. Choose scents that uplift your spirits, like Caribbean Sunset or Warm Desert Night, to maintain a sense of comfort.
4. Enhance Your Mood
In times of uncertainty, keeping your spirits high is essential. Lighting a few scented candles with calming fragrances can help create a cozy atmosphere. Opt for scents like Zen Forest Mist or Pumpkin Spice to uplift your mood and remind you of home. Our wax melts can also be used to fill your space with pleasant aromas if you have a flameless option available.
5. Use Candles for Emergency Signaling
If you find yourself in a situation where you need to signal for help, lighting a candle can serve as a beacon. Place it in a window to attract attention from passersby or rescuers. Choose a brightly colored scented candle for maximum visibility.
6. Remember to Practice Candle Safety
Always remember to never leave a burning candle unattended. When using scented candles during emergencies, keep them out of reach of children and pets. Consider using candle holders to stabilize your melts candles and scented candles for added safety.
