There is hardly anyone who would not want his beloved to burn longer. After all, it is the aroma candle that creates a truly soulful atmosphere in the house! Thanks to its unique aroma notes, it permeates the premises with an atmosphere of relaxation, harmony, comfort and warmth. You, too, feel better when a scented candle gently flickers in the room?

But time comes and the candle goes out... Sometimes this happens in a matter of hours, sometimes after a few days. You've probably already thought about how to extend the burning time of an aroma candle? After all, each of us always strives to use the purchased products to the maximum, isn’t it? And to make your aspiration come true, we offer some practical tips on how to help your favorite aroma candle burn longer:

• Choose an aroma candle of the right shape

What should a scented candle be like to burn as long as possible? Round! This form is the most good option, since in it the wax is located at a short distance from the wick, which guarantees the most correct melting. Irregularly shaped candles may melt unevenly. As a result, a lot of wax is wasted.

• Light the candle when it's chilled

Even if you choose a different shape of candle, try placing it in the refrigerator an hour or two before you light it. This will cool the wax, which will help it burn more slowly. Notice! The aroma candle does not need to be frozen. Don't put it in freezer, otherwise the wax may freeze so much that the candle breaks and you will no longer be able to use it.

• Set the burning limit

No matter how obvious it may sound, if you want your aroma candle to last a long time, limit its burning time. Let it shimmer until the melted wax covers top layer candles. When this happens, extinguish the scented candle. For most candles, the moment “it’s time to extinguish” comes after 2-3 hours of burning. Tea candles, of course, melt faster. In addition, such advice will not only help you save more wax until your next aromatherapy, but will also protect you from headaches and illness. It is known that excessively long use of aroma candles (more than 3-4 hours at a time) can negatively affect a person’s well-being due to air saturation.

• Trim the wick regularly

This is a very important procedure! If you do not trim the wick and leave a blackened, charred tip, then the next time you use your aroma candle will heat up unevenly and therefore melt quickly. In addition, the candle will smoke and emit an unpleasant aroma. Unpleasant effect, right? Therefore, do not be lazy to trim the wick! By the way, you can find out how to do this correctly in one of the previous articles on our blog.

• Choose a place for an aroma candle carefully

Make sure that the scented candle is not placed in a draft, near a window or near a fan. Even the lightest breeze will make the flame tremble! If this happens, the candle will heat unevenly and melt. The result is rapid combustion.

Now a candle with your favorite scent can serve you for a long time if you follow these recommendations. Don't forget to share these useful tips with family, friends, colleagues! Be sure to visit ours. We know how to make your shopping profitable and comfortable!
