Why do wallflowers stop smelling

Bath and Body Works need to be ashamed of themselves for selling such a Faulty Product Everyone can't be wrong People spend A Lot of money in there Stores We should Boycott! I wonder if maybe we are all just getting used to the smells and that's why we aren't noticing? Seems like when I put a new oil in it smells great for a few days then I stop smelling it.

I am so glad to see that I am not crazy! I bought Fresh Fall Morning and it's throw and smell were amazing For no more than weeks! I even make a point to unplug them for several days at a time and still cannot smell them at all when I plug them back in! This is obviously a rip off! I am going to stick to their candles and body products from here on out. Also, their scent portables have also lost their throw. I keep wondering if it's because of the essential oils? Idk, but what I do know is these things are already too expensive so to not work on top of that!

It's infuriating! See, we both thought we were going crazy because we couldn't smell our Wallflowers until we found where others are describing the same issues with most, if not all, Wallflower Refills! I use to love these but really feel they have been subpar for several years now.

I use to smell them all the time, now I have at least 3 plugged into a small area and I cannot smell them at all!!!! The first one I got which was strawberry pound cake smelled so strong. I got the plain white light up plug in. Comment the review as Bath And Body Works verified representative. Write a private message as Bath And Body Works verified representative.

PissedConsumer Sep 30, PissedConsumer Sep 28, Since they changed companies! Reply 0 1. Thanks so much for noticing that! I appreciate your message. I have had it with Bath and Body. They have sent me damaged items, leaky wallflowers and non working plug ins. I corresponded via email and was told to bring them back to the store.

I paid for shipping, why must I be inconvenienced. Their customer service is one of the worse in mass retail. Gallagher Bassett employ professional liars so forget ever getting resolution with them. They need to update their MSDS. It is not accurate. I will never buy their crap ever again. Good post. Hope it goes viral. Somehow one of these was unplugged while my husband and I were away on our honeymoon and left on the dog bed.

When we got home our puppy was covered in chemical burns. The MSDS you referenced is for the carpet foam scent product, not the plugins. I need a good alternative but have yet to find one.

If anyone has suggestions, please le me know!? Same thing happened in my kitchen-it literally bubbled the varnish that was on top of the stain on our cabinets-it looked like it had bubbled it right off the cabinets-now how safe is something that can remove a poly coat off stain with nothing but the fumes coming out of those wallflowers!

I just read a post from someone on FB that said essential oils are bad too. They almost killed her cat! No more!

And my cat has suffered from diarrhea for years! Essential oils are the concentrated oil from plants. Some plants are harmful and poisonous to cats, especially in a concentrated form! For instance, 1 drop of rose oil is made from approx. Honestly though, even essential oils, some of which are powerful organic solvents yes, solvents , will peel finishes and cause damage to plastics, irritate mucous membranes and cause headaches in too great of concentrations.

Good luck with your repairs though. As with any electronic component, the efficiency of the resistor degrades over time and can vary in temperatures up to F a few more degrees and a fuse breaks in the wallflower- it will no longer work as a safety!

Read any MSDS for any product ever and you will think it causes cancer or something, including some of the ingredients in things we consume such as soda or food dye. Those warnings are often decontextualized from how the product is designed to be used.

Plenty of natural things are toxic too. Also, I agree with the other poster that it was the heat, not the oils. The oils can stain or build up on the wall, though, hence the clearance warning. Which should be put on the bulbs, I agree. I sympathize about how disheartening the damage is, and what a letdown it was, but also… Is it really their fault? Also, a handful of their scents are the same name as an essential oil, so that could be confusing. Painted or varinshed surfaces will be damaged by exposure to a concentrated oil vapor like this for months on end.

As far as being toxic…of course it is. Take 50 organic oranges and concentrate their natural oils down and seriously consider if it would be a good idea to drink that. It might have come from something natural, but that by product or extraction is no longer in its natural form.

I own some of the cheaper Flower Top style Wallflower plugs and found that they heat up to a surprising temperature. I have one of those laser gun thermometers and measured four of the plugs:. The fancier Wallflowers styles may produce even more heat since some of them consist of glass.

I know you said you will not be using Wallflowers any longer, but others who do and have moulding that extends outward from the wall over the plug in may want to get one of those outlet adapters.

One fell out of the socket and leaked on my bathroom floor; removed all the wax where the oil leaked. Yes this has happened to us today!! The freshener was brand new — used once — bought it 2 days ago!. It was unplugged and put down on our end table. The liquid in the freshener must have solvents in it to do type of damage. Also, when I was cleaning up the end table I mentioned above, I put the unit onto the TV, not realizing it had the residue of the liquid still on the base unit.

It was only there 10 minutes on the TV and it ate through the finish on the TV!!!! That is NOT essential oils; that is a solvent-based liquid.

Wow, with that list of warnings; who would still want to have them in their homes. Thanks for the post. I am also a loyal customer of bath and body work and use the wallflower very often. I also use scented candles but from Yankee Candles. I will not buy any more wallflower refills from bath and body works. What are you expecting for the company to do, come to your house and do the repairs? Seriously people… use your brains? We think that the warnings should be more visible and people should be more aware.

Thank you. Personally, I think you are blowing this way out of proportion, for all of the reasons people have already stated in these comments. But if they did compensate you for the damage, that is extremely generous of them and that should be in your article! It is posted in the article that they were compensated. Couple of swipes with a light sandpaper and a dab of paint.

It was one of these Wall Things got so hot and caused a fire in the house. At that time I have never plugged anything in our sockets that could heat up. At times I even get nervous using the night lights we put in sockets that we use in some of our rooms. We just found damage to my husbands guitar that was hanging over one of these on the wall!!

This is terrible!!! One leaked it was right side up , and spread around a bath trash can and completely destroyed our real hardwood floors. Then my husband took one out to keep it away from our daughter and it got knocked over and took the finish off our table.

Hi everyone — I had placed the bag with multiple wallflower refills on my very expensive dinning room table when I got home from store. Be known to me one was not properly sealed and it completely striped the complete wood with the finish and all down to bare wood!!! I could not believe my eyes — the wallflower refill contents works better than paint striper!

These need to be recalled for the safety of our lungs — breathing these daily. Do you think the company pays for these problems? No, they just fold that loss right back into the price that they charge for their products and WE pay for it.

So thanks for that. I mean what did you think it was made of? Choose to use it or not use it. I have a pet safe ant repellent that has natural oils in it and it peeled the paint off of a desk of mine.

What do you expect? Obviously you lack common sense and common courtesy. Hi I read your page about Bath and Body Works. I could not believe it! I have a new kitchen gutted and redone. And I am looking under my kitchen cabinets up top and underneath I see a weird stain and I touch it and this oily stuff comes on my fingers so I get a cloth to wipe it off and the stain from the new mind you cabinets comes off on the cloth.

So I look in two other parts of my kitchen where I have two other plug ins. One stain is no exaggeration 4 by 14 inches long. The others are not quite that bad. But my kitchen is a year old. It just made me sick. I am still paying for my kitchen and will be for some time. I love bath and body works. But there was no warning on the plug ins.

The liquid part. I do still use them. But no where in the kitchen or near any cabinets. I cannot imagine how many peoples house cabinets this product has damaged. Same story with my newly remodeled kitchen…. I absolutely cannot believe this has happened to so many people. I found this site because I was looking for an alternative to these. If I bought a lamp and put a cover close to the bulb, is the light bulb manufacturer to blame for the hole burned through the cover? Should light bulbs have labels on them?

The simple fact is that anything that dissipates heat from a source should be kept away from anything that might be damaged by it.

My favorite scent is Fresh Cotton, it smells like freshly washed laundry! Just wanted to give credit to Slatkin. I like these. I buy them on sale and they make the room smell great. Honestly I love everything at Bath and Body Works except these. The wallflowers smell great, but only put off a scent for a few days. The oil lasts for about four weeks, the smell does not, even in a tiny bathroom. They are a waste of money. Rated 43 in Other. Reviews Ratings 11 Reviews 3.
