Read Ziba’s helpful tips in taking care of your candle so you can enjoy beyond Valentine’s Day:
Never leave a candle unattended. Don’t let a candle burn in an unattended room, or a room with unsupervised children or pets, even for a few minutes.
Let it burn. Candles were meant for burning and the first time you light it, it needs to burn for at least an hour, but a little longer is good too. This will allow the candle to fully melt across the width of the top of the candle. It levels the wax and helps ensure an even burn next time you light it.
Keep it trimmed. A wick’s purpose is to allow melted wax to draw up the wick and burn. But the wick itself isn’t supposed to burn. It’s just there for the wax. When the wick gets too long it can’t properly draw the wax up the wick and the wick itself starts burning which can sometimes cause black soot. Always keep the wick trimmed to about 6 mm.
Candles sweat. Soy wax melts at a much lower temperature than their second cousin, paraffin wax. While they burn longer, they do melt quicker. Don’t leave them in a warm window and don’t ever leave in a hot car during the summer. Move your candles to a cool place insider where they can rest, and you will be fine.
Put a lid on it. While many blow out a candle, the best way to extinguish is to quickly put the lid on the candle.
You got your money’s worth. Don’t burn a candle all the way to the bottom. Always leave 5 to 10 mm of wax at the bottom of the candle. When the candle burns all the way to the bottom, the bottom of the glass or metal gets very hot. This can damage whatever a candle is sitting on.
