Before lighting your new candle, it’s a good idea to trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps the candle burn more evenly and keeps soot formation to a minimum. When you light your candle, try to let it burn until the entire surface has melted into a pool of liquid wax. This helps prevent tunneling, where the wax around the edges remains unburned and forms a wall around the wick.
When choosing a spot for your candles, make sure to avoid drafty areas like open windows or vents. Drafts can cause the flame to flicker and create an uneven burn. It’s also important to keep your candles away from flammable materials and place them on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Using a candle holder or a coaster can help protect the surface from heat and wax.
To put out your candle, you can use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax with a non-flammable tool, like a wick dipper. This can help prevent smoke and soot from forming when you blow out the candle. Just remember to straighten the wick afterward.
