New Scent It Handling Fees

danFragrance Oil GeneralNo Comments

AT Scent It we strive to bring you the highest quality product at the best possible price. In this tine of economic turmoil it becomes increasingly difficult manage costs. Our costs for bottles, boxes. packaging, and shipping of our items increases at an alarming rate. Rather than constantly raising prices, we have used our handling fees to help offset these costs. In the past Scent It has been charging a flat rate for our handling fee. Our handling fees are added to the shipping fees. We have now come up with a new way to apply handling fees to orders. Instead of applying a flat fee we will now apply our “handling fee” as a small percentage of the order subtotal. This will significantly reduce shipping fees, especially on smaller orders. We think this is a much fairer approach to handling fees. We hope this helps. Let us know what you think.

Can I really use Scent It Scents to repel bugs?

danAround the HouseNo Comments

Can I really use Scent It Scents to repel bugs?
Oh, yes! There are some aromas that certain insects and pests just cannot stand:

To deter a large variety of bugs-use Marigold.

Ants- Cucumber, Clove, Cinnamon.

For Sugar Ants-Peppermint or Cinnamon. Place the scent on a cotton ball and put where they are coming into the house.

Flying insects in the house- the aroma of Basil will repel anything with wings. Flies, Mosquitoes, etc.

Mosquitoes- Lavender or Citronella, will rid your home of mosquitoes.

Fleas- hate the smell of Lavender, Sage, Orange Peel, Eucalyptus. You can also put a few drops on your pets sleeping area to ward off fleas.

Gnats- Citronella does the trick.

Moths- Use Cedar or Patchouli. You can put a few drops on a cotton ball in your closet in an inconspicuous place to take care of these pesky bugs

Mealworms- will avoid your grain products if you keep a cotton ball with Spearmint scent near your products.

Rats, Mice, Gophers, Squirrels, Moles- hate the aroma of Peppermint. Place a small drop of Peppermint on a cotton ball and drop it down a Gopher hole, you will never see that varmint again.

Freshen up around the House

danAround the HouseNo Comments

Are there ways to use Scent It Scents around the house when I don’t want to use a candle or simmer pot?
Freshen your home with scents when you can’t use simmer pots, or candles:

Musty places in homes, cottages, campers, office, closets, etc. can be brightened up with our scents. Place a drop of scent on your fingertip, rub thoroughly where it won’t be seen and where you don’t mind a discoloration or stain. Inside closets, under shelves, bottoms of furniture etc. You can also place a few drops on a cotton ball, place on a piece of aluminum foil and tuck into an inconspicuous place - refresh every few days. You can also make a Spritz by adding as much scent to your liking to a spritzer bottle with distilled water. Spritz to freshen up the room, this will save on costly aerosol room deodorizers.

Can I use Scent It Fragrance Oils with my Potpourri?

buddysmomAround the HouseNo Comments

Potpourri will naturally lose its scent over time. Try this:

1) Use about 5 drops of oil for a hand full of Potpourri. Using an eye-dropper RESERVED ONLY FOR USE WITH SCENTING OILS is the best way to distribute the oil. If you don’t have a dropper, pour a little oil into the cap of its bottle and gently shake the oil onto the potpourri.

2) If you keep your potpourri in a bowl or a basket, and you don’t mind that some oil may get on the vessel itself, keep it in that container to refresh it. Otherwise, place your potpourri in a roomy plastic bag.

3) Sprinkle or evenly drop the desired amount of oil onto the potpourri and toss it with your hands. Pretend you’re tossing a salad with your hands. Very gently moisten every flower and herb as you disperse the oil. WASH YOUR HANDS WELL AFTER EACH USE. You may wish to use rubber gloves when using the oils, since some of our oils are spicy and may irritate sensitive skin.

4) If you’re leaving the potpourri open in a ceramic bowl or basket, you can replace the blend back into its container right away. If you use the potpourri in a cloth bag or sachet or in a light-colored basket, wait a couple of days to return it to the sachet, since the oils may discolor or stain the fabric.
