Using soy candles to fragrance your home

Benefits of Soy Candles

 

We want our homes to be inviting and emanate wonderful aromas when someone visits. There are many forms of air fresheners on the market; sprays, gels, mists, potpourri and scented oils. The market has been inundated with new fragrance fans and air fresheners with “light shows”, but these items can be very pricey, especially when it comes to refills.

Using candles not only adds wonderful fragrance and aroma to your home but they also create a warm, homey atmosphere. The price of candles can be much more economical than all the new-fangled items on the market today. Candles can create an ambiance that you just can’t get in other air fresheners.

Candles are available in more fragrances than sprays and other air fresheners. The smell of candles will drift through your home and last longer than sprays so you aren’t continuously going from room to room with a can of air freshener.

Burning soy candles has many benefits you can’t get from paraffin wax candles.

Soy candles burn cleaner thus reducing the pollution and irritants associated with paraffin wax candles and do not emit ozone gases.

Soy candles are made with triple the fragrance of paraffin wax candles making them smell better, but without overpowering your home. The fragrance lasts longer than with paraffin wax too.

Soy candles are biodegradable and will clean up with warm soapy water. If paraffin wax candles leak or spill it can be a mess trying to scrape the wax from your furniture. This can also damage your furniture and leave ugly scratch marks.

Soy wax is non-toxic and non-carcinogenic. There are no pesticides or herbicides, making them a safe, healthy choice, especially for homes with children or family members who have allergies.

Soy candles will also burn 30% longer than paraffin wax candles. They may be a bit more expensive to buy, but when you consider the benefits of longer burning time and fragrance that lasts the entire lifetime of the candle, it really is a better choice economically.

Soy wax candles are made from 100% soybeans, making them a healthy choice and helping our American farmers in the process.

Soy candles are made with lead free wicks and do not put out soot like other candles. We’ve all burned candles and been disappointed by the black gunk that builds up inside the jar. This soot not only blackens the jar but is also released into our homes coating our walls and ceilings. Not to mention the fact of how unappealing it looks when we are trying to create a pleasant atmosphere.

Burning soy candles offers so many more advantages than paraffin wax. You save money by burning candles that last longer and hold their fragrance; you help the environment by burning cleaner candles, and clean up from accidents are so much easier with soy wax.

If you’re still not convinced, purchase one soy candle and see the difference for yourself. Place your new soy candle in one room and a new paraffin wax candle in another room. Light them both at the same time and makes comparisons on fragrance and burn time—and don’t forget to notice which one emits less soot.

Make your home a warm, inviting atmosphere with wonderful soy candles.
