Candles add a calming ambiance and fragrant scent to any room in your home. There are ways to ensure that your candles last as long as possible as well as maintain their scent and burn evenly. Of course, it is wise to never leave a candle unattended and to keep them away from fans, open windows, hot surfaces, children and pets. Also, be sure to store candles in a cool, dark place to maintain their color and fragrance. Otherwise, they will grow “stale,” aging as they fluctuate with the temperature.
Other candle maintenance hacks are to shorten the candle wick with the wick cutter for a cleaner and longer burn. While all candles produce soot, this trick will drastically cut soot emissions that happen when the candle oil fails to burn completely. It will also reduce the black discoloration on your candle jar. Another tip is to use a wick dipper to move a shifted wick. It’s important to keep your candles clean by removing debris from the wax pool. Lastly, when putting out a candle, you can use a snuffer to extinguish a flame without the smoke or put out the flame with the lid of the jar it came in. This will also prevent messy wax splatter.
With these tips in mind, you will need handy tools to amplify your at-home self-care experience. Set the mood with these handy, lux candle accessories:
