Conventional old fashioned candles, WITH a wick are pretty. What most people do not know, is how truly harmful they can be. Many are mass produced with extremely toxic materials that can harm you, your children and your pets. That is why everyone who loves candles, should consider using Scentsy wickless Flameless Candles instead.
When you pick up a candle at a store, there isn't an ingredients list such as the ones you find on a can of soup. The candle makers don't want you to know what you are buying. These candles burn quickly, and dangerously, and in fact, quite filthy.
If you are a candle lover and burn several candles at once you should try this. Take a white napkin and wipe down some baseboards near the area where the candles usually burn. If those surfaces have not been cleaned in a while, you will notice that the napkin has turned a nasty gray and sometimes even black color. This, is what is called SOOT DAMAGE. Soot can be extremely damaging to your home. There are home restoration companies that dedicate themselves to removing soot from your home after a fire and I know, I worked for one.
Soot damage can not only make your home smell terrible, but it can also damage your EXPENSIVE electronics. Think about your expensive flat screen, or your X-box, or maybe your Blu-ray player. The soot is introduced into your electronics and then within a matter of months, it begins to cause irreversible damage.
So what?! It's just electronics and a stinky home! Okay, so if that does not bother you. Think of this then. The LEAD levels in your home will rise drastically. A woman by the name of Cathy Flanders from Texas, was burning candles in her home. "Testing revealed the lead level in the Flanders' home to be 40 milligrams per square foot -- 27 times the limit allowed in Housing and Urban Development homes."
So I like a little lead in my life! Well, we told you about the stench, the destruction of electronic components, and even the dangers of candles and lead. Still not convinced? What about a house fire? "The National Candle Association says there are some 18,000 candle-caused fires annually in the United States, and experts blame carelessness on the part of candle users."

Q. How long will Scentsy Candle Bars last? A. They will last roughly 50 - 80 hours. However some have lasted longer. It depends on the strength of the fragrance.
Q. How long can I leave my Scentsy warmer on? A. As long as you feel comfortable leaving it on. Think of it as a night light, I leave mine on 24/7.
Q. What kind of wax is used when making Scentsy Candle Bars? A. We use a food-grade petroleum wax. We chose this wax because of its superior scent loading ability, melting point and firmness. We warm the scent out of the wax meaning the wax remains in the warmer, so there are no toxic chemicals being released into the home, unlike candles.
Q. What is a food grade petroleum wax? A. It's just that! edible but Scentsy most definitely does not recommend eating their product. It's also the same material found on apples in your local grocery store to give them their shine.
Q. What type of oil is used in Scentsy candle bars? A. Key fragrance oil which is the highest grade of oil before processing.
