SweetDeliciosity Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I recently started up a scented candle business at home and so far things are going smoothly. The one problem I'm having is that the silicone mold I use for most of my candles seems to trap every scent that touches it. Now every candle I make takes on the subtle scent of every candle that went before it.I've tried washing it out with hot water and soap but that doesn't seem to be working. It there anything I can do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Did you try an alcohol rub down after washing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetDeliciosity Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks for the tip, I gave that a shot after you suggested it and it helped a bit. So did scrubbing with some baking soda.I don't think anything is going to get rid of that smell completely though. In the long run I imagine I'm just going to have to get more molds if I intend to keep making the same shape with a variety of scents.

Scented Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 How about a soak then, maybe an alcohol and baking soda paste applied inside, left for a little bit and then removed. The silicone shouldn't have taken on the smell of the FO, but undoubtedly that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetDeliciosity Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 That sounds promising. I can't really believe that the mold took on the scent either but here we are. I'll give that a try later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
