Hi @DowntonAbbey

I'm not suggesting the women in Community Chat don't know how to decorate ;-)

I sincerely think you'll get a better response in the Home or Holiday forums.

What a rip that your candles stopped functioning :-(

@DowntonAbbey...did the pump quit working, if so let vinegar sit in it overnight, it might just be clogged.

thank you to both of you and do I just pour full vinegar in the candel? I did but did not let it stay..........this time I will. I went away for three weeks and had it unplugged and it will not come back on. Sigh.

@DowntonAbbey

What @Mom2Dogs is worth a try. At this point you have a nonworking candle. Vinegar probably won't make it worse (unless it picks up a smell).

I just added pure white vinegar to the candle and I will let it set for 24 hours and see how that does.

SHOULD I add water also or pure vinegar? They really should last longer than 3 months. I am tired of things breaking down at the Q.

My girl friend has an aqua candle and thought hers was a gonner as well. She let the vinegar sit overnight and in the morning it worked!

As I recall, it was pure vinegar.
