Has anyone tried adding a natural fragrance to the balls? Just curious if a you can infuse them with natural oils.

I have not tried it, but have seen reviews on wool dryer balls in general. Some people stated that they put a few drops of essential oil on the balls. However, the essential oils that I have purchased are not supposed to be used around extreme heat, being combustible. So, I was a little scared off by that.

Woolzies suggests you allow the laundry to finish drying, then add a few drops of essential oil to two of the balls. Place them back in the dryer on the no heat setting for ten minutes. Leave the third ball in the dryer, but do not add oil to it. I just bought a three pack of Woolzies and have not tried this yet, but those directions are included in their packaging.

A fellow "oiler" posted this on her blog: "The Young Living Essential Oils that I have used and like on my wool balls are Lavender, Orange and Lemon. They make your clothes smell nice and fresh and you can feel good that you are doing something good to help rid your home of harmful toxins and chemicals! I add 2 drops of Young Living Essential Oil on each of my 3 dryer balls, and toss them in with my wet laundry! Voila! My laundry comes out nice and fresh smelling, no static cling naturally and my laundry gets dryed in less time!"

I have a Noor and I like it. However, the paperwork tells you to avoid using citrus oils, which really stinks. A customer support rep from ZAQ answered another question that you could use citrus oils in all of their diffusers. This is in direct opposition to what I received from the company when I puchased mine. I do love my Noor, though.

The aftershaves I've used have rinsed out with water and there hasn't been objectionable mingling, but I'm not that critical. If you're dealing with stronger scents, and an alcohol base, I'd fill the atomizer with vodka or other neutral spirits (denatured alcohol won't do), shake it up and spritz it until the stink's gone -- there's nothing in the atomizer's construction I'm aware of that's absorbent. Of course, you know, the atomizers are cheap enough that you can dedicate one to each of your signature scents.

I usually improvise. I try to find something that will fit, where the wand goes in, for example the hollow Musk scents or Vanilla that emit the fragrance thru the stick Just add a string & that should do it!!

i personally would not use them ,but ask for a refund .They should not be like that what so ever . they should feel smooth not wet, and have a lovely vanilla smell . nothing else !

I hadn't tried. With normal use through the creation of one candle the tin looks same as they did when I purchased them. I'll be reusing them so I might know if that changes with more time.

Hi....I have used these caspules for essential oils and have had no problem...however I think it would depend on what oils you use (how strong the ability would be to dissolve) and the duration of time....I only made mine for a few days ahead of time. Good Luck

I used cotton balls. About 6 weeks. I need to order some more peppermint oil works great for mice. Haven't seen any since I started using this product.

I have never heard of removing the finger inserts for baking the oil out of a ball. If you have interchangeable thumbs, on the other hand, I do not leave those in while baking the ball

I can definitely relate, as the smell is over powering. I use scented plug-ins in the areas where I use these and that has seemed to help. I've used this product over a year and either I have gotten used to the smell or it fades over time or the plug-ins work. I don't notice the smell anymore.

I used these primarily in a candle warmer. I just put some on my hands (full strength) & it seems to work ok. I would probably dilute them to last longer & to cut down on the oil feeling on the hands.

You can use it inside, however, it did not do what the advertisement said. Inside/outside your results might be the same. Using spearmint oil on a cotton ball did the job and it has a nice smell.

I would not do this at all. It is hard to keep them cool. They could also very likely "bloom" (melt slightly and get white patches on them) even if they are ok when you receive them. Chocolate and a July wedding are a chancy thing--have you thought of another type of candy, such as Jordan almonds?

No, Fresh Balls does not smell minty like tea tree oil products. The smell is somewhere between stream runoff from mountain goddess bathing with fresh-fallen snow, and Sure deodorant. There is a light pleasant smell similar to "unscented" body lotion which fades after application.

I would say no because the consistency of the oil is very light and it may not mix thoroughly with the wax. But that's just my opinion, I have not made candles with theses oils. Perhaps buy 1 bottle and try?

Lynn, I love this fragrance and receive ongoing compliments on the scent. Men follow me out of stores saying they were following the scent. A lemongrass scent or citrus scent such as is found in a body mist should do the trick. Layer the fragrance in a non-hot spot, one spritz high and one spritz low should suffice. If that's too much spritz only once in a cool spot. Hope this helps Lynn. Sincerely, Robin

You can try some Roson Lighter fluid on a cotton ball.http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dlawngarden&field-keywords;=B000XJ36UO
