We answer the question why it is impossible to blow out a candle, how to extinguish it properly, and why your candle smokes. 6 simple rules for the care of scented candles - below.
We have compiled basic rules for using scented candles so that they can bring you maximum pleasure.
Aromashvechi is a whole ritual with its secrets. To enjoy the most pure aroma and ensure a long life of a candle, you need to follow a few simple rules.
1. We have already talked about these simple rules, and are ready to repeat again and again: try to choose candles from natural wax - soy, bee, apricot, coconut: it does not harm health and gives off flavor better. Paraffin candles often smell great in a glass, however, once you light such a candle, the scent will disappoint you. It's all about the properties of paraffin. Natural wax instantly and evenly fills the room with aroma.
2. Make sure the wick is made from a natural material - cotton or wood (yes, and such are). Often the candle wick has a metal base - it is important that it be made not of lead, but of zinc. If you rub metal on paper - it should not leave marks. If it leaves, it is better to give preference to another brand next time.
3. Do not blow out the candles! If you blow a candle and then light it again - you will not feel the true aroma, the smell of a smoldering wick will be mixed with it. Many candles have a lid with which you can simply close the candle: it goes out within 5 seconds. If there are no caps, you can use a special damper or extinguisher that looks like a bell.
4. Trim the wick before each use. It is especially important to cut off the blackened wick: after all, it has already burned. This is what leads to the fact that the candle smokes, the embers fall into the wax and the candle does not look like a new one. In addition, when you light a charred wick, you can smell smoke, not your favorite scent. This is very easy to avoid: just cut off the blackened wick before lighting the candle. This can even be done with ordinary nail scissors. And we advise you to get a special trimmer: it is very convenient for them to trim the candle wick in any glass.
5. Do not keep a candle lit longer than 3 hours! The wax will continue to melt, but the odor with such a long burning will not stand out anymore. This is due to the fact that at a very high temperature, the aroma oils cease to give off the aroma. They just get too hot. Just put out the candle and let it cool. Usually it takes 5-10 minutes. Once the wax has hardened, you can re-light the candle and enjoy the scent!
6. So that dust does not collect on the surface of the wax and the candle always looks perfect, it is important to keep the candle properly - cover the candle with a lid and it will always be like new!
All these simple tricks will help the candle last longer. It remains to wish you a pleasant use!
