If you’re like me & have small children &/or pets, having a great-smelling home + ensuring their safety is paramount. One thing most parents do is avoid using products containing harsh chemicals or irritants that could potentially harm their child's health. One product thats usually the first to go are traditional candles with an open flame.
We get stuck wondering things like, what if they knock over the candle when I’m not looking or where exactly is that wax evaporating to 🤔 (hint… it’s everywhere, including their lungs)!
The good news is, you can ease your mind by switching out your normal candles for Wax Warmers or even better (& my personal favorite)… Fans!
In this post, I’ll walk you through the perfect home fragrance system for parents of littles & provide 5 options you can include into your home. This will give you a roadmap to get started with Scentsy & having your home smelling amazing without any flame, soot, or smoke.
What is the perfect home fragrance system?
Scentsy is a perfect alternative to traditional candles so you can ditch the open flame, once & for all.
There are three fragrance systems Scentsy offers that allows parents to maximize their home fragrance + safety for their kids. An added benefit is that there’s no wrong way to mix & match.
This is what Scentsy was founded on back in 2004.
This is an important component because this is where Scentsy spends the majority of their resources for innovation. Every scent we offer comes in a Scentsy Bar. You can also add scents you like to Club & Scentsy will continue making that specific Bar for you for as long as you have it in Club.
Many people who are new to Wax & Warmers start out on the right track but then get stuck because they usually only have one or two. Depending on your space, you may need multiple to get the scent throw you’re looking for.
The key to use Wax & Warmers correctly with small children & pets, is to place them in higher, harder to reach areas like kitchens, bathrooms, & TV consoles. This will ensure they are less likely to be touched or bumped.
To get started here, choose Mini Warmers so they are directly on the wall & not on a counter.
If you’re looking for instant scent with no heat, spills, or mess… you’re in the right place!
If you’ve ever had to deal with spilled wax, these are your saving grace. Pods are self-contained, non-toxic fragrance beads which makes them easily portable and great for use with our Fans. Each pack comes with two pods & each lasts 120 hours… that’s two weeks worth of fragrance.
I prefer to strategically place these in all my family's high-traffic areas. Think… the front door, hall ways, bedrooms, etc. With kids, I also like to use Wall Fans in all my lower outlets because if they get bumped, there's no mess.
A really useful technique for home fragrance is creating your own scent experiences by mixing & matching scents. You can do this by using scents in the same or similar families. Our Wall Fans have enough space for two Pods so you mix your scents.
Instant fragrance — anytime, anywhere. With a 22-hour battery life, you can enliven small spaces on the go with our portable, compact, cordless fragrance system the Scentsy Go. Use with up to two Scentsy Pods.
Our biggest fan diffuser yet, the Scentsy Air offers instant fragrance with incredible reach. It can scent areas anywhere from 250 to 1,000 square feet while using up to four Scentsy Pods for customizable fragrance strength. If you're looking for fragrance solutions for bigger spaces like open living areas, small businesses, etc., you'll love this powerful new Fan Diffuser. It’s also great for those who want strong fragrance in mid-size spaces.
But that’s just the beginning! From the timer & light options to the neutral style that fits any décor, plus the ability to mix & match Pods, the possibilities are endless!
With children (& especially pets), you’ll want to consider investing in an Air Purifier. The Scentsy Air Purifier cleans the air using a HEPA H13 filter.
This filter is capable of removing at least 99.95% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns (µm) including dust, pollen, mold, & bacteria to leave your environment clean. You can also choose to add Pods to the top of the Air Purifier so it disperses your favorite Scentsy fragrance.
Because it’s capturing the larger particles & isn’t a carbon filter, your fragrance won’t be affected.
