Latkes and sufganiyot smell delicious on the stove. But that lingering oil smell isn’t so fresh in the morning. Enzyme-filled scented candles break down old cooking smells at the molecular level while filling your space with seasonal scents to help build memories. Below, we explore the benefits of using enzymes for kitchen odors and highlight some of our favorite scented candles for Chanukah.
Scents can add extra cozy vibes to your home. But when you choose enzyme-based scented candles, they act as a reset button and stop those greasy Chanukah smells from settling into the walls and upholstery.
Odor eliminating candles release enzymes as they burn. These enzymes attach odor particles in the air, breaking them down at the molecular level and replacing the scent with one you actually want in the room.

Grease and cooking odors
Smoke and stale smoky smells

If you love your latkes at Chanukah, the smell of fried food can build up quickly over 8 nights. These additional tips can help keep your space odor-free for the whole holiday.
Ventilate while cooking: Opening windows or doors while cooking latkes can dramatically reduce the lingering smells afterwards. The open door allows grease-filled air to escape and allows fresh air to circulate immediately.
Use splatter guards: Mesh splatter guards placed over your pan while cooking can stop some greasy particles from reaching the air and cuts down on clean-up around the stove.
Air purification: If opening windows and doors is not an option while frying for Chanukah, an air purifier can quickly suck lingering particles out of the air before they get a chance to settle. Just remember to clean or replace the filters before the holiday to make sure they’re working at maximum capacity.
Memories are built on traditions. But the stale smell of fried food in the morning isn’t everyone’s favorite scent. Odor eliminating candles can reset your space in minutes and stop stubborn food odors from settling into the home. Discover some new scented candles this Chanukah and find out how much more seasonal and welcoming your home can feel for your family and visitors.
