Wooden Wick Co has ceramic beads that can be scented and then put in the warmers. I bought some and will be testing them out later this week.

I’d be interested in hearing what you think of them. I was actually thinking of trying those too.

Thank you, Not really what I was looking for. I was wondering if corn cob could be used... but not sure about putting them in an electric warmer.

The solar salts are great. They hold fragrance a long time, and you can color them with micas. I have not put mine through summer so do not know if the humidity causes an issue with them weeping.

 

I love those scent burst idea.  Most of those air freshener in bags are the same as kitty litter. Clay or corn cob based. 
have not tried but you could dye, or hahah die trying!

Thank you. What recipe do you use?? Right now I”m trying Mortons Ice Cream salt, which looks great but not sure about absorption. 

I tried those paper Scent Bursts that they sell in the stores. This seems like something we could make at home. Any suggestions on where to start?

This is an old post but I use FO with DPG right in my warmers. Works well. I don’t like having wax because it’s easier to make a mess if the kids hit it. The DPG is good because its an emulsifier and make the FO Last a little longer and if it does spill, easier to clean up.

There are several threads (both older and more recent) about salt. I’m in the barn and can’t search right now.

Highlights: just take a tablespoon of just about any salt and add  a few drops. 
 

to make ahead, start with 1% Up to possibly 10% by weight and let it soak. start lower, you can always add more.
 

Put it in your melter Super easy.

Thank you

Hello Everyone, I’m new to the board but not new to candle making/scenting, etc. 

I am trying to find a less messy alternative for electric wax warmers. I love my warmers but when you have little ones, they can knock them over, etc. 

Years ago Home Interiors (Another name now) had a scented gel for electric warmers. It was basically a thick lotion. It was great because the scent throw was great  and I didn’t have to worry about the kids knocking it over. Clean up was easier too. 

I am currently trying Smelly jelly but wanted to find something like a salt crystal or Epsom salt that I could scent and toss in my warmers. Any suggestions?? 

I like to use the scented laundry crystals , what can I use the mimic those?? 

Thank you for any help.
