FAQ

Our Products

  • What's so special about this wax blend?
    Many candles still use paraffin wax, which is derived from fossil fuels. We opted for an all-natural, vegan 50/50 blend of apricot and soy wax. It hold scents well, it’s clean to the touch, and most importantly, it is not environmentally destructive.
  • What's the weight and burn time? How should I care for the candle to maximize it?
    The poured wax candle and refills are about 220g, with a burn time of 40-50 hours.
    The best way to prolong the burn time is to trim its wick to about 6mm (1/4th inch) before each use. This keeps the flame low and slow.
    Prevent overheating by only keeping the candle lit for less than 4 hours.
  • What material is the wick?
    100% cotton yarn. No throwaway metal is attached to the base.
  • Are the wax and wick compostable?
    They are both completely compostable, but it's a good idea to confirm that your local waste management service accepts wax before adding it to the bin.
  • How do I get the last bit of the candle out of the pot?
    Freezing it overnight will constrict the candle remains at the bottom. It should easily pop out.
    If you don't have a freezer, swirling warm water around the interior should unseal the finished candle.
    Just be careful not to use both methods at once! Pouring boiling water on a frozen pot could crack the ceramic.
  • Is the pot safe for dishwashers and freezers?
    Yes! We recommend to take out most of the wax beforehand to keep dishwashers clear.
  • Can I use the candle indoors and outdoors?
    Yes, go for it!
  • Where are the candles made?
    The pots were handmade in Portugal, and the candles were poured in England.
  • How do your products work?
    Great question! Our sets contain refillable bottles and concentrated tablets. Fill your bottle with warm tap water, drop the tablet in and let it dissolve. Leave the sprayer off for this part. After about 20 minutes the tablet will be dissolved enough for use, though it will continue to break down. Screw the sprayer back on and you're ready to go! When you run out of product simply top up the product with water, add another tablet and repeat the steps above.
  • Can I use the tablets without your bottles?
    Of course you can! We're biased and we think our bottles are the best, but if you prefer to use your own bottles at home or repurpose something else, we support that! Our tablets are compatible with all types of bottles.
  • How can I find out more information about a product?
    You can learn about all our products on their individual product pages as well as in The Science section of our website. If you have any additional questions or thoughts, make our day and email ateam@atmohome.com.
  • What surfaces are ATMO HOME products suitable for?
    ATMO HOME currently offers three different surface cleaners: glass and mirror, multi-surface, and bathroom. The glass and mirror cleaner is safe for any and all of your shiny surfaces: windows, mirrors, glass. The multi-surface cleaner is formulated for countertops, wood, tile and stone (with the exception of natural stone). The bathroom cleaner should be used on porcelain, tile, sink, fixtures and the bathtub. Additional information can be found on each individual product pages. All of our surface cleaners are vegan and free from triclosan, parabens, phosphates, ammonia, chlorine bleach, and phthalates.
  • Can I sell the products on my own site?
    Your purchase of ATMO HOME products is only for your personal use. By purchasing ATMO HOME products, you agree not to resell or distribute such products for any commercial purposes. We may reject or cancel an order if we have reason to believe that your order is not for your personal use. If you are interested in listing products get in touch with us at ateam@atmohome.com.

    We’ll be coming out with new products very soon—sign up for our newsletter to get the latest updates!
  • How do I know how much ATMO HOME product to purchase?
    It’s simple! Use our usage calculator to receive a personalized recommendation for your refill cadence. Keep in mind that this is simply a recommendation – you can always order more or less - but we will check in with you every three months to make sure you have enough product on hand. If your usage changes, don’t worry. Just log into your account at www.atmohome.com to make any adjustments, or send us an email at ateam@atmohome.com.
  • Will my products renew automatically?
    We do not offer automated refills at this time, but we will be adding it soon! We'll send you an email notification when this goes live.
  • Are ATMO HOME products pet safe?
    Yes. We have developed our products without adding volatile organic compounds so they are safe to use around pets and animals. Please note that some of our fragrances may have mild allergens, so if you have any specific concerns reference the information on the back of the tablet or drop us a note at ateam@atmohome.com.
  • What certifications do you have on your products?
    ATMO HOME is on the path to zero waste and is actively pursuing zero waste certification for its line of sustainable surface cleaners.
  • How long will one tablet last?
    Each ATMO HOME cleaning solution should last you a similar length of time as a traditional cleaning cleaning solution. How long one bottle's worth of solution lasts depends on how often you clean and how much you use, often dependent on the size of your home and family, though on average a full-sized product lasts for about 3 months. If you need more help on identifying which products you should purchase, we recommend using our usage calculator for a quick recommendation on how much product to order.
  • Can I visit an ATMO HOME store?
    ATMO HOME is a fully digital retailer. If you’d like to see a physical retail location in the future, please let us know by emailing ateam@atmohome.com. You can visit us online at www.atmohome.com and on Instagram @atmohome!
  • How many times can I reuse the bottle?
    To infinity and beyond! Our bottles are designed to endure over time. If you encounter issues with your bottle, email us at ateam@atmohome.com.
  • How many cleaning tablets do I need to use when making my cleaning solution?
    Just one per ATMO HOME bottle. However, you are welcome to dose your products to your preference. If you'd like to add an extra tablet or two to make a highly concentrated, foaming solution, that's up to you!
