Candles are a staple in many households, whether they are used for decoration, ambiance, or simply to make a room smell nice. However, if you want to get the most out of your candles, it’s important to take care of them properly to ensure a longer lasting burn. Here are some candle care tips that will help you enjoy your candles for as long as possible.
One of the most important things you can do to ensure a longer burn time for your candles is to trim the wick before each use. A wick that is too long can cause the candle to burn too quickly and unevenly, leading to a shorter lifespan for your candle. Trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch before lighting the candle to help it burn more evenly and last longer.
Another important tip for extending the life of your candles is to keep them away from drafts. Drafts can cause a candle to burn unevenly and more quickly than it should, which can result in wasted wax and a shorter burn time. Make sure to place your candles in a draft-free area to help them burn more evenly and last longer.
It’s also important to let your candle burn for at least one hour the first time you use it. This allows the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface of the candle, which can help prevent tunneling (when the candle burns straight down the center, leaving wax along the sides) and extend the life of the candle.
To further extend the life of your candles, make sure to store them properly when not in use. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as this can cause the candle to melt and lose its shape. Storing your candles properly will help them stay in good condition and burn more evenly when you do use them.
Finally, consider using Made in Florida Natural Mosquito Repellent Sticks to keep pesky bugs away while you enjoy your candles. These natural sticks are made with ingredients that mosquitoes hate, such as citronella and lemongrass, and can help create a bug-free environment so you can relax and enjoy your candles in peace.
By following these candle care tips and using Made in Florida Natural Mosquito Repellent Sticks, you can enjoy longer lasting burns and get the most out of your candles. With a little care and attention, your candles can provide hours of beautiful light and fragrance for you to enjoy.
