Introduction
Don't you just love the cozy feel a well-scented candle brings to your home? But have you taken a moment to ponder on how to take care of your candle? As fascinating as they may be, candles also need special care to maximize their lifespan and maintain safety. So let's delve into the intricate art of candle care, shall we?
How to Take Care of Your Candle
To keep your candles burning brightly and safely, here are some tips to remember:
Trim That Wick
Before even lighting your candle, ensure you trim the wick to about 1/4" using scissors or a wick trimmer. This not only ensures a clean burn but also increases the lifespan of your candle- a win-win move!
Let it Burn
Allowing the wax to evenly melt across the edges of the jar is vital in preventing tunneling, especially during the first burn. So, next time, let it burn and observe the difference!
Safety First
Never allow your candle to burn without supervising it. Limit your candle burning time to 4 hours at most and remember to place your candle on a coaster or tile to protect your surfaces from heat. After all, safety always comes first, right?
Know When to Stop
Burning your candle when only 1/4"-1/2" of wax remains is not advisable since lighting it without enough wax can overheat the jar. So, always remember, know when to stop!
Reuse It!
Just because your candle has burned out doesn't mean you discard the jar. Instead, clean it out and reuse it as a new planter, pencil holder, or whatever suits your fancy. Need more tips on reusing? Read more about it here.
