FAQs
Can I use these indoors?
Yes, these incense sticks are suitable for indoor use, provided the room is well-ventilated.
How long does one stick last?
While burn time can vary based on airflow, the 26cm length is designed for a standard, long-lasting burn session.
Are these effective against all insects?
They are designed to deter common flying pests, but effectiveness may vary depending on the insect species and environmental conditions.
What is the best way to extinguish the stick?
You can press the lit end against a heat-resistant surface or dip the tip into water to ensure the ember is completely out.
Does the brown color affect the scent?
No, the brown color is purely aesthetic to help the sticks blend into your decor.
Can these be used in a windy garden?
High winds will cause the stick to burn faster and disperse the scent too quickly, reducing its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Stick goes out before finishing
Ensure the stick is not placed in an area with excessive humidity and check that the tip is not being smothered by ash.
Excessive smoke or soot
Ensure the stick is kept away from direct air drafts and trim the tip if it has accumulated too much carbon build-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your incense, place the stick firmly in a sturdy, heat-resistant incense burner or a pot filled with sand to catch the falling ash. Never leave a burning stick unattended. To ensure longevity and safety, store the sticks in a cool, dry place to prevent dampness, which can interfere with the burn quality. When finished, ensure the ember is completely extinguished by pressing it against a non-flammable surface or dipping the tip in a small amount of water before disposal. Keep the product out of reach of children and pets at all times.
