We all love a cozy evening with a candle burning, but did you know there’s a right and wrong way to burn a candle?
How Long Should You Burn a Candle?
For most candles, the ideal burn time is 1-4 hours. This allows the wax to melt evenly across the surface, preventing tunneling and maximizing the candle’s life.
Burning Tips for a Longer-Lasting Candle:
- Trim the Wick: Before every burn, trim your wick to 1/4 inch. This keeps the flame steady and reduces soot.
- Watch the Clock: Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Overheating can cause the wax to discolor or release less fragrance.
- Use a Snuffer: Blow out your candle with a snuffer or by gently placing the lid on top. This prevents wax from splattering.
