Five Tips for Freshening Dorm Rooms from Candle Warmers Etc.
LAYTON, Utah, June 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Often among the top suggestions for adding a simple and inexpensive decor item, open flame candles can be dangerous. Each year an estimated 23,600 fires are caused by candles, including fires in campus dorm rooms. Between 2003 and 2006, U.S. fire departments responded to an average 3,570 fires in dormitories, fraternities, sororities, and barracks resulting in $29.4 million in property damage. As parents and their college-bound children make plans for life on campus, Candle Warmers Etc. suggests that candles and fragrance can still be enjoyed if a safe and practical candle warming appliance is used, such as a candle warmer lamp, plate candle warmer, or fragrance warmer.
"For example, a candle warmer lamp heats the candle from the top to release the fragrance quickly," said Candle Warmers Etc. President Chris Barnes. "Without a flame, the customer benefits from the soft glow that's cast from the lamp's opalescent shade. It's really the best of both worlds, and eliminates the worry altogether."
Additional tips for safely managing odor and freshening a room's air quality include:
- Give drawers new life and clothes that "mom-cleaned treatment" with Crabtree & Evelyn Iris Draw Liners to gently scent clothing with an iris fragrance;
- Use a mobile laundry basket on wheels, an easy transport option for dirty clothes and a great way to move bad scents out of the dorm room;
- Wipe up spills with the Bad Air Sponge that literally draws out sunk-in odors from university-provided dorm furniture and keeps the closet and room smelling fresh;
- Place a houseplant such as a Boston fern, Peace Lily, or English Ivy in the room. These and other plants contribute to good air quality and add a touch of home.
