Candles are a great way to bring a welcoming smell to your favorite spaces. In addition to the smell, their looks can give a warm, cozy mood to your space. They have a flame, so it is important to make sure that you are taking proper care of them. Here are some of our favorite candle care tips.

Never Leave Your Candle Unattended

Just like any source of fire, it is important to never leave the flame alone. While your candle is burning, make sure that you stay close by just in case something happens to the candle and its fire spreads.

Burn in a Large Space

If you are in a small and stuffy area, the fumes from certain candles may not make you feel the best. By burning in a large area, the scent has more room to spread to, therefore providing a better overall experience.

Use Proper Ventilation

Similarly, to why you should burn your candle in a large space, you should also make sure that the area can be well ventilated. Otherwise, the scent could become overwhelming. 

Trim the Wick

Trimming the wick is a part of candle care that most people overlook. By trimming the wick, you are greatly reducing the amount of smoke being released into the air, which overall creates a better burning experience. 

Don’t Play with the Hot Wax

Playing with the hot wax may look fun, but it is not worth it. You will likely be messing up the burn pattern of the candle. There is also a possibility that you could burn yourself, so it is best to leave the hot wax alone.

Candles are something just about everyone enjoys, but it is still important to make sure that you are taking proper care of yours. Safety should always be your priority, so make sure that you practice proper candle care.
