Candles are a wonderful source of light and warmth and can create a relaxing atmosphere. However, to get the most out of your candles and extend their lifespan, it is important to take proper care of them. Here are some tips and tricks to keep your candles in top condition.
-
Check the size of the wick: A wick that is too large can lead to uneven combustion and cause your candle to burn faster. To ensure even combustion, the wick should be shortened to 1cm before lighting.
-
Make sure the candle burns evenly: To ensure even burning, the candle should burn for at least one hour each time it is used before being extinguished.
-
Avoid drafts: Drafts can blow out the wick and cause uneven burning. Make sure your candle is placed in a sheltered area away from direct drafts.
-
Use a candle holder: A candle holder can help keep your candle straight and stable and burn more evenly.
-
Extinguish the candle safely: It is best to use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame rather than blowing it out. Blowing it out can result in uneven burning and mess on the wax.
With these tricks you can make the most of your candle's lifespan :).
