How often do you burn

[Minerva Mouse]

I use to burn candles, but I find them too dirty anymore. Now I just use the warmers, much safer, much cleaner, same result.

I burn candles almost every day. I also love the tarts in the warmers. I have about 75 different scents to choose from.

I used to burn them (set them on my oven top where I felt it was safer with kids around) almost every day... Until I realized I had soot INSIDE my kitchen cabinets. That was not an easy cleaning job!
I received a tart warmer as a Christmas gift a couple years ago and I love it. I use it at least weekly, sometimes more. You can change the scents frequently. They are cheap. And they take less space to store. Love em!

a body?


just thought I'd ask

 

[Mermaid02]

I burn them occasionally. Just put a brand new Christmas Eve candle on the stove top in my new house- can't wait to light it on our first night there!

I rarely burn a candle. I have a couple tart warmers. I prefer to use fragrance oil in them, but also buy tarts.

I use them every weekend. Sometimes I will plug it in during the week.

In the fall and winter, almost daily.

In the spring and summer, rarely if ever.

I like Yankee candles, but actually prefer the ones at Bath & Body Works (Slatkin). I've been burning the Autumn ones, and soon will switch over to the Winter scent.

Almost everyday................but not in summer, can't bring myself to light a candle when it is 115.

I use Yankee jars mostly..............going to lit a Pumpkin Pie one today.

 

[Mom_Rides]

Candles rarely, tarts alllll the time.

Do you have animals that would knock them over or small kids? I burn them all the time and I have a real phobia of fire. I place them out of reach on on something that is able to handle the heat. I always blow them out well before going to bed. Really just curious as to why they are too dangerous?

I'm not the pp you are asking, but I can relate.

I once left the house with a candle lit so since then I don't burn them anymore. I purchased some electric tart warmers that I use pretty much daily now.
I do use battery operated candles in holders that I just want the "ambiance" of candle light.

 

[pigletgirl]

I usually do. But these days the candles are turning me off. They make me nauseated. Blame the pregnancy.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Only if the power is out.

 

[PaulaSB12]

Never, too dangerous.

I agree I have a little black queen short hair cat that likes to play patty paws with flames!!!!!!!!!

 

[BearcatsFan]

Almost daily in the fall and winter. Love the big Yankee jar candles, and I found I can get them cheaper at the flea market so that's where I've been buying them.

In fact, I have a Cinnamon Stick one burning right now.

I am so OCD about this type of thing that it isn't an issue. An electric tart warmer would bother me just as much as a candle. If it warms in any fashion to me it is a fire hazard and must be treated as such. I drive my DH nuts. I blow candles out long before I leave the house or go to bed, I even will touch the wick to make sure it isn't warm. I have been known to ruin candles by pouring water on them if I was unsure before I went to bed. I unplug almost everything. except the TV and computer. Coffee pot, toaster, can opener, all unplugged, if I could get tp the stove it would be also. I will touch each burner with my entire forearm to make sure it isn't on before I go to bed, yep I need help. lol I guess that is why I never have to worry about a candle catching fire in my house.

 

[DisneyFan32WI]

I have never burned a single candle.
I have 3 battery operated flameless candles throughout the family and living room that stay on from 7pm-midnight each night. I bought them from Costco and they are terrific!

I have 3 cats, so I worry about them burning down the house. That's a big reason why I don't have real candles.

 

[Disneefun]

Never. Too many candles (and air fresheners and plug-ins) emit known carcinogens into the air. Since candle makers are not required by law to list the ingredients of their products, I don't buy them. The law says that since the scent formulas are proprietary, the makers are not forced to disclose what's in them and I'm unwilling to take the risk.

I figure I breathe in enough bad stuff every day without willingly adding to it.

 

[Fortuosity]

Light a candle when the power goes out at night for a short time. Burn an oil lamp when it's out for longer periods.

Light matches anytime just for anyhow.

 

[marmalade]

I love to light candles, especially during the fall/winter months. I have one usually lite in my kitchen on a daily basis and a few here or there in my living room a few times a week. I also have tart warmers that I will have going.

I will only light candles on the floor that I am on. I will not light candle in the kitchen and then go upstairs to clean the bathroom or whatever. If I am leaving the downstairs/upstairs for longer than a short trip I will blow the candles out.

usually every day when the windows are closed
