How to burn candles so you aren’t left with wax on the sides!
Unlike the rules of fight club, the rules of burning a candle should be known to everyone who loves a good candle!
To eliminate the smell of smoke from your candle or melt the wax so you get very little wax left on the sides as your candle burns down, follow these simple tips:
1. Every single time you go to light a candle, trim the wick so it is only a few (3-4) millimetres long. This stops the wick from mushrooming, which then eliminates ash going into your wax or getting a smokey scent.
2. Every candle is different, however make sure you burn your candle (particularly the first time) for at least two hours or when you see the surface has liquified from one side to the other (a pooling effect). This helps to melt the wax more evenly, letting you get more of the scent and to melt the wax on the sides. Even if there is some wax on the sides after burning, if you continue to burn this way, the wax on the sides will eventually melt (at least 9 times out of 10 it does)
3. Never burn a candle for more than approx. 4 hours or once you see a thick layer of pooled wax. It can melt your wax unevenly and reduce the burn time.
4. Keep your candle away from drafty areas. If you notice your candle flickering, it’s best to move it away to where you see it glowing continuously. This helps to create an even burn.
Now you can get more burn time from your candles! Don’t forget you can purchase deliciously scented, all natural, soy candles from K & Grace, a local business operating online! Click the link in the bio to shop the range.
