Everyone wants long burning and clean burning candles. The way to get both of those is to be sure to not let the wax pool after burning for a while. Did you know that you should trim your wick? Also you should never blow a candle out. First of all it is very dangerous because it could splash, it really needs to be snuffed out with a snuffer. Snuffers don’t cost very much and will save your candle.
It is not always the wax that is the problem, for instance, if you don’t keep your wick trimmed, the flame burns higher and will cause soot. Also, it will cause the wax to build up on the walls of the candle, ie, burning in the center and not evenly. It seems kind of silly to have instructions to a candle, but it is the truth. Just like anything else, you have to use them properly!
If you do these things, your scented candle will last a lot longer and not cause these problems. I know personally, once I find a scented candle I like, I want to get the most of it. So follow these instructions along with taking care not to place them where they will get a breeze and you should get a longer life from your candle.
