Whether looking for a complimentary scent when lighting incense or need a quick burst to cover a temporary unpleasant odor, incense matches can help. They look and work just like regular matches until they are blown out, and then they smolder to the end, releasing scented smoke in the aroma of choice. They should also be placed in an appropriate receptacle until fully extinguished to prevent accidental burns of fires.
Many of the incense matches are available in book form, similar to the regular cardboard style matches, or in boxes similar to wood stick matches. While they do work like regular matches, care needs to be taken and they should be left laying around. An unsuspecting person may think they are regular matches and once lighting birthday candles, a cigarette, or whatever, blow out the flame and toss the smoldering stick into something that could catch fire.
The scents available with incense matches are almost limitless, and users can be sure to find the ones with a scent to match the incense being ignited. By using the incense matches, there will be a quick shot of the aroma, before the smoke from the smoldering incense begins to fill the room.
Matches Have Many Uses Throughout The Home
Simply lighting incense is not the only use for incense matches as they can be used in many rooms of the house. Lighting one or two in the kitchen can help overshadow the not-quite-friendly aroma of some cooked foods and they can also be used in the bathroom. If the basement occasionally smells a little musty, burning an incense stick and laying the smoldering stick in an ashtray can quickly rid the area of the musty smell.
They can be used in any room of the house that may need a quick deodorizing and by using the same scent in every room, the entire home will take on the scent of the incense matches. Again, care must be exercised to properly place the smoldering match into an acceptable holder, such as an ashtray or a flat incense burner.
The matches themselves have little odor until lit and can be stored anywhere regular matches can safely be stored. If incense matches become damp or wet they will lose their ability to light, but once dried can be lit with another source to enjoy the aroma with which they are infused. They should be treated as other matches except in regards to putting them out.
