Glade^® Frequently Asked Questions

For best performance, burn two to four hours at a time. This will maximize the life of your candle.

Wick maintenance is key for perfect burning. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch each time before you burn, and be sure to remove any wick debris in the candle before lighting.

Do not touch, lift or move a burning candle. Wait until the wax has cooled and hardened before touching a candle. For optimal performance, keep burning candles away from drafts, vents and air currents. Candle wax can be temperature sensitive. For best performance, do not expose candles to extreme high or low temperatures.

Be sure the candleholder is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Never place flammable materials, such as dry leaves or paper, near a candle. Never burn candles unattended. Do not burn candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.

Stop using your Glade^® Jar Candle, Glade 2in1 Candle, and Large Candle when 1/4 inch of wax remains.

Do not reuse candle holder; discard after use.

SC Johnson is aware that there have been postings on the Internet that have claimed that our products were involved in fires. It is important that you know that all of our PlugIns^® products are safe and will not cause fires. We know this because PlugIns^® products have been sold for more than 15 years and hundreds of millions of the products are being used safely.

Because we are committed to selling safe products, SC Johnson thoroughly investigated these rumors. First, we confirmed that no one had contacted SC Johnson to tell us about these fires or to ask us to investigate them. Additionally, we had a leading fire investigation expert call the fire department representative who is identified in one of the Internet postings. That fireman indicated that he has no evidence that our products had caused any fire.

We suspect this rumor may be associated with a past SC Johnson voluntary recall of one of its air products, a Glade^® Extra Outlet Scented Oil product that was sold for a short period before June 1, 2002. After discovering an assembly error in a small number of that product, SC Johnson implemented a voluntary recall and provided extensive information about the product to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). After revising the manufacturing process and thorough testing for proper assembly, the Glade^® PlugIns^® Scented Oil Extra Outlet product returned to store shelves on June 3, 2002. SC Johnson has no knowledge of any credible reports of fire related to this product.

We also know that our products do not cause fires because all of our PlugIns^® products have been thoroughly tested by Underwriters Laboratories and other independent laboratories and our products meet or exceed safety requirements. SC Johnson continues to work closely with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to investigate allegations involving PlugIns^® products.

As a more-than-100-year-old family-owned company, SC Johnson is committed to providing top-quality products that can be used safely in homes, and we want to reassure you that PlugIns^® products can be used with complete confidence.

Fragrance oils may collect on the warmer unit over time. To clean, remove the warmer from electrical outlet and wipe the warmer with a dry cloth. Wash hands after handling. These instructions are also included on the back of the warmer package.

The fragrance will be stronger the first 3 days and then will level off. You can control fragrance intensity by adjusting the control on the front of the unit. A lower setting provides less fragrance, while a higher setting provides the most fragrance.

First, check to make sure the outlet is operating properly. This can be done by simply plugging in an appliance such as a lamp or radio to make sure it is operating. If using the fan unit, make sure the warmer unit's electrical plug is in the locked position with the arrows on the back of the unit aligned. The warmer unit should be plugged into the outlet in a vertical or upright position.
