How to Make Your Candles Last Longer 🕯️
There's something special about lighting a candle that fills your home with warmth and tranquility. But did you know a few simple steps can make your favorite candle last even longer?
1. Let it burn properly the first time: Allow your candle to burn long enough that the wax melts evenly across the top. This helps avoid tunneling and ensures a consistent burn every time.
2. Trim the wick: Keep the wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch. This prevents soot buildup and helps your candle burn cleaner and more efficiently.
3. Keep it out of the breeze: Wind and drafts can cause uneven burning and black smoke. Always place your candle in a calm area.
4. Use a snuffer to extinguish: Blowing out candles can cause splatter. Use a snuffer for a safe, smokeless finish.
5. Store it right: Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve fragrance and wax quality.
