Make the Most of Your Candle with Every Burn
Welcome back to the Tulsa Candle Co. blog! Today, we’re diving into a burning question: how can you maximize the burn time of your favorite soy candles? Let’s shed some light on this topic with a blend of wit and wisdom.
First off, did you know that candle burn time is typically calculated in 4-hour segments? That’s right! For the best performance, light your candle for up to 4 hours at a time. This method helps ensure an even melt pool and prevents those pesky tunnels from forming in the wax. It’s a simple trick to keep your candles looking and smelling fabulous longer.
Now, let’s talk about the tempting but hazardous "power burns"—leaving your candle lit for extended periods. While it might seem like a good idea to let that delightful fragrance fill your home all day, burning a candle for more than 4 hours can cause the wick to form a mushroom shape, resulting in soot and excessive heat. This can make your candle burn too fast and reduce its overall lifespan. So, give your candle a break and avoid those marathon burn sessions.
Finally, keeping your burn time in check not only extends your candle's life but also ensures safety. Overheating can lead to uneven melting, wasting your precious wax and potentially damaging the container. Stick to 4-hour intervals to enjoy a clean, steady burn that maximizes every drop of your Tulsa Candle Co. soy candle.
Remember, moderation is key. Treat your candles well, and they’ll reward you with a longer, more enjoyable burn. Happy lighting!
