Opt for High-Quality, Eco-Friendly Candles

  •         Choosing the right candle is key to both safety and sustainability. Keep these points in mind when making a purchase:
  •          Opt for eco-friendly candles made from natural waxes like soywax candles, as they burn cleaner, produce less soot, and improve indoor air quality.
  •         Select non-toxic, lead-free wicks when buying jar candles or tea lights to avoid harmful emissions.
  •      Purchase scented candles online from reputable brands that prioritise both safety and sustainability.

Proper Placement of Candles

  •          Place candles safely to prevent fire hazards; always place candles on a stable, heat resistant surface.

Trim the Wick for right lighting candles

  •          Before lighting, trim the wick to ¼ inch (6 mm) to prevent excessive heat, flickering, and soot buildup. A wick that’s too long can cause the candle to burn too hot, while a short wick may lead to incomplete wax melting.
  •          Regular wick maintenance is essential for getting the most out of your luxury scented candles.
  •          Whether using candles for home décor or setting the mood with mood candles, always extinguish them before leaving a room.
  •        If you prefer a long-lasting fragrance without an open flame, consider flameless alternatives like wax warmers.
