Fire & Water - Cleanup & Restoration


What alternatives are there for candles?

A fire damaged the bedroom of a local home. We removed the soot and the smell of smoke from the home. 

We love the smell of a fresh candle as much as anyone, but we have also seen many homes and businesses damaged when a candle flame catches nearby objects. If you want a little extra light or scent in a place like a foyer or bathroom where you won't be able to keep it in sight, try one of these safer candle alternatives.

  • Battery operated candles
  • Wax warmers
  • Twinkle lights
  • Candle heat lamps
  • Scent diffusers


This doesn't mean you can never have an open flame in your home, but to be safe, never leave candles burning unless you can watch them.
