At Simply Gaia Candles, we understand that the warm glow of a candle can transform any space, especially during the winter season. To ensure you get the most out of your eco-friendly candles, we've compiled a list of five practical tips to make them burn brighter and last longer. Let's dive into the secrets of maximizing the lifespan of your winter candles.
Optimal Wick Trimming for Prolonged Illumination
One of the key factors in extending your candle's burn time is to keep the wick trimmed to the recommended length. Before lighting, ensure the wick is approximately 1/4 inch above the wax surface. This not only prevents uneven burning but also reduces excess soot production, contributing to a cleaner and longer burn.
The Art of Slow Burning: A Candle Care Ritual
Embrace the art of slow-burning to unlock the full potential of your candles. Allow the wax surface to melt into a pool before extinguishing during the initial use. This sets the stage for consistent burning, preventing tunneling, and preserving the aesthetic appeal of your winter candles.
Ambient Room Temperature Matters
Candles are sensitive to their surroundings, and maintaining an optimal room temperature can significantly impact burn time. Keep your space comfortably warm but avoid direct exposure to drafts or excessively cold temperatures, as these conditions may cause uneven burning and decrease the overall longevity of your candles.
Strategic Placement for Even Wax Melting
Position your candles strategically to promote even wax melting. If your candle is placed near a drafty window or in a spot where one side receives more airflow than the other, rotate the candle periodically. This ensures that the wax melts uniformly, preventing wasted wax on one side and extending the overall burn time.
Extinguish with Care for Repeated Radiance
When it's time to extinguish your candle, avoid blowing it out. Instead, use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax using a non-flammable tool. This not only prevents smoke and soot but also preserves the integrity of the wax, allowing you to relight your candle more efficiently and enjoy a longer burn.
