How to Use Candles Properly

How to Use Candles Properly For Both Types: ✔️ First Burn is the Most Important Allow the wax pool to reach the edges before extinguishing (typically 1-2 hours for smaller candles, 3-4 hours for larger ones). This prevents tunneling, where only the center burns, wasting wax. ✔️ Trim the Wick Regularly Keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch to prevent excessive soot and flickering. Long wicks produce larger flames, uneven burns, and black smoke. ✔️ Avoid Drafts Candles placed near fans, open windows, or air vents burn unevenly. If the flame flickers excessively, move the candle to a more stable environment. ✔️ Use a Candle Snuffer to Extinguish Blowing out a candle can create smoke and splatter hot wax. A snuffer gently extinguishes the flame without mess. ✔️ Burn Candles in Safe Intervals Avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating and wick mushrooming. Let the wax cool before relighting
