gel air freshners?

Cullumpster

Well i must admit that i do spend a lot of money on candles and smellies so it would be brill if i could do that, it'd save me a fortune!

Also, a lot of you probably know this already if you use a lot of candles, but with the rubbish little bit that you get left over at the end after it's burned, if you put it in one of thoses burner things and burn it with a tea light it smells a hell of a lot better than just burning it normally.

I do that a lot now, because they try and sell you posh 'Melts' but it's just candles in a funny shape, i just buy a smelly candle, put it in the microwave for a few seconds and break it into pieces and burn it that way.

why not just use a normal candle and drop some essence on the wick occasionally

Has anyone who made the air freshners not had them go mouldy? Just want to check before splashing out on distilled water.

Not gel freshners I know but I use those conditioner sheets (stores own) you put in the dryer - Only need a small piece so rip one in half and place over radiator, when the heat comes on room smells a treat! these sheets are really useful as they are anti stat and also good for dusting tv's etc., and for rubbing on your tights to help prevent static cling to your skirts.

Do you put oil in with it?

My burners don't have very big hollows for the oil and water. Why can't they make a dip just the right size to hold enough liquid to last the length of one tealight burning? I always have to refill before the tealight burns out. ::)

Hope that makes sense :-/
