Just received a tip, that I thought I would pass on. This has never happen to me, not yet anyways. But thought I would pass it along just in case someone might need it.

Tip:

The tip to use if this should happen to you:

I have used a nylon stocking (knee high style works perfectly because
I can slide it over my hand like a mitten) to "refresh" votives.
Gently rub the stocking all over the votive.

Thanks for that tip!! I havent' had to place large orders yet, but it's good to know what to do in case the scent crossover does happen!
