FAQs
Can I use this oil indoors?
No, this oil is specifically designed and recommended for outdoor use only in appropriate outdoor lamps, lanterns, and garden torches.
How long does the citronella effect last?
The duration of the insect-repelling effect depends on various factors, including wind, temperature, and insect density. The oil provides a continuous presence of citronella while burning.
What is the expected burn time for one liter of oil?
Burn time varies significantly based on the size and type of lamp or torch wick. Consult your fixture's manual for specific burn time estimates.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Yes, the oil is packaged in recyclable PET plastic bottles.
How do I safely refill my garden torch?
Always ensure the torch is cool and extinguished before refilling. Carefully pour the oil into the reservoir, avoiding overfilling, and securely replace the cap.
Does the oil have a strong scent?
The oil has a characteristic citronella scent, which is generally considered pleasant and is known for its insect-repelling properties. It is not overpowering.
What should I do if I spill the oil?
Wipe up spills immediately with an absorbent cloth. Dispose of the soiled material responsibly and ensure the area is clean. Store the bottle securely afterward.
Troubleshooting
Lamp/torch will not light or maintain a flame.
Ensure the wick is fully saturated with oil. Check if the wick is the correct type and length for your fixture. Refill the fuel reservoir if it is empty. Ensure the wick is properly adjusted.
Excessive smoke or flickering flame.
Trim the wick to the recommended height (typically 1/4 inch above the fuel level). Ensure the lamp/torch is not placed in a strong draft. Check for debris in the wick or fuel.
Oil is difficult to pour.
Ensure the child-resistant cap is fully disengaged. Pour slowly and steadily. If the oil is very cold, allow it to warm slightly to room temperature.
Unpleasant odor (other than citronella).
This is unusual for high-quality lamp oil. Ensure the oil has not been contaminated with other substances. If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
