Aloha supporters of SERVPRO of East Honolulu,
We would like to extend a huge mahalo to everyone who reads our blogs and also request our services. We are happy to serve East Honolulu and share these tips with you.
As we are in peak holiday season the use of candles has risen, with candles being used as decorum or mood setters for this time of year.
It is also important to note, the use of candles do not equate to fire starting.
The issue with an increased use of candles is the increased use of negligence with respects to candles themselves. While many of us don't practice proper fire etiquette to sustain a candle flame; here are some great alternatives for a fire-free holiday.
1. Fairy Lights
Because they are usually battery-run or with electricity, these are great alternatives to candles especially if you're just using a candle for mood setting. It will out live a candle, while also being a great way to even spice up one's light theme. With many different types of Fairy Lights some are even 10+ colors.
2. Wax Warmers
If you like candles for the warm scent they bring, wax warmers are a great alternative. Bringing in new aromas in a more controlled setting; they also either use electricity and have no open flame.
3. Essential Oil Diffuser
Essential oils create added scent to a room, with some good health benefits. There are many different diffusers to choose from, so you can easily find one that matches your home. Beware of oil diffusers if you have pets, as some can not handle essential oils nor diffusers creating adverse effects to certain pets.
4. Stick Diffuser
These are both easy and care-free, these simply add scent from the scented oil the sticks reside in. Being a simple gesture to a great-smelling holiday season.
5. Battery-Powered Candles
The easiest change from open-flame candles to safer alternatives is to a battery-powered candle.
Be safe over the holidays, everyone at SERVPRO of East Honolulu wish you the happiest of holidays.
