How should you use scented candles?

Scented candles must be used properly if you want to enjoy them to the fullest. If you do not do this, the candle may tunnel. This means that wax gets stuck to the side of the jar and a tunnel forms inside the candle. The wax that sticks to the side can no longer be burned, resulting in fewer burning hours. To ensure that you make optimal use of your scented candle, we have compiled the tips below for you.

• 1. When you light the candle for the first time, let it burn for a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 1.5 hours. This ensures that the wax and fragrance are activated and that the wick becomes saturated with the scented wax. 2. Before lighting the scented candle again, it is a good idea to check the length of the wick. It is recommended that the wick be no longer than 5 mm. This prevents soot formation. 3. Every time you light the candle, it is advisable to let it burn until the top layer of the wax is completely melted. This prevents tunneling. 4. Scented candles should not be left burning for more than 3 hours at a time. This prevents high temperatures that are detrimental to the quality of the scent.

Scented candles remain good for an average of 2 years unopened. As soon as you start using them, it is recommended to finish them within a year. This way, the scent stays at its best and your candle will last the longest.
