To access the best candle experience, it's significant to maintain your candle. The first burn is very important. It sets the tone for how the candle will continue to burn throughout its lifespan. Your wick will burn best when it's trimmed to 1/4 inch BEFORE EACH USE. Allow your candle to burn evenly, away from cooling and heating systems. Drafts may cause your candle to burn unevenly, which produces memory rings, that typically last the life of the candle.
Your candle should be burned within eyesight, and away from children and animals. Your candle has the ability to burn up to 4 hours, before requiring time to cool. The wax and fragrances we use are malleable and will shift properties when exposed to intense light and temperature. Storing your candles in areas that are dimly lit and dry will support the maintenance of your candle. Refrain from leaving your candles in your car. Extreme temperatures will negatively impact your candles.

Have a question?
Who wants to clean? Our CEO would rather be outside playing rather than doing his chores. Light this candle, kick up your feet, relax, and let the candlelight engulf your senses...and hopefully Alexa will catch up and start cleaning houses soon!

Middle: Citrus + Agave
Base: Lime + Sugar
Candle Care: To enhance the life of your candle and get the best, cleanest burn, please trim your wick to 1/4 inch BEFORE EACH burn. To prevent heat damage to your container and/or surface, please stop burning when there's a 1/4 inch of wax left. Always burn on a candle safe dish and keep away from drafts, pets and children. Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. To put out your candle, use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. NEVER USE WATER TO PUT OUT A CANDLE FLAME.
When choosing your candle size, please consider the room that you will be burning your candle in. Our 2 oz sample sizes are just that; they are meant to give you a sample of the scent and will not fill an entire room. Our 4 oz candle is meant for small spaces such as a bathroom or small den/work room. Our 10 oz glass jars are meant for medium spaces.
Each item is handmade in small batches. Because all of these items are handmade, they may have some imperfections that do not impact the quality of the candle.

I purchased this candle in a sample size a few months ago and had to go back for the full 10oz. It’s my favorite candle, filling the house with citrus and clean smells. The only thing that would make it better is if lighting it actually made Alexa clean the house.
Light clean fragrance not overwhelming. Candles burn clean and lend a light lovely scent to our little apartment. SOL is a great source for exceptional candles, reasonably priced and excellent assortment of scents! Love them🥰
Amazing scent!
Tried 3 scents. Love them all… but this has the most fun name!
Alexa, clean the house has a pleasant, fresh clean smell. Just wish she could actually clean the house! My husband asked, "Which candle are you using?". I replied, "girlfriend, clean the house". He was confused. We recently purchased an Echo Dot, which I say is his new girlfriend...he talks to her a lot! If I said the name of the candle, the Echo Dot would have responded! Fun times haha!

I love my candle! It makes my entire apartment smell like it was just cleaned - Yes! It's still going strong after a few weeks, too. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love the smell!

Lovely
Couldn't believe the smell once lit, strong but inviting scent.
DREAM CANDLE
I have been online shopping for candles far too much and this is hands down the best one out of all the candles. First, let's name the fact that Smell of Love has the fastest service ever -- I emailed about ingredients back and forth with kind, thoughtful responses within a day (usually within the hour). I purchase with them and it arrives within 2 days. Granted, I'm in Northern VA and the company is in DC but nowhere else has been that fast -- even in my own town! Anyway, back to the scent. I passed over this smell my first order because I think "clean" candles quickly become some laundry smell. Luckily, Smell of Love included a sample (they always have a sample, which is just a great touch) in my order and I went back for more. This scent is a citrus combo that is grapefruit forward and softened with a sweetness that is hard to explain but not vanilla (I find vanilla sweetness can make something sickly sweet). The candle is strong but not overwhelming for one-room/working in an office for hours overpowering. If there is one complaint, I'd prefer a different wax that enables the candle to last longer but honestly it still lasts a good length of time. DEFINITELY WORTH THE PURCHASE
Loved These Candles
I gave these candles as gifts and everyone loved them.
