Shopping Tips For Clean Burning Candles

By Kathleen Graham


Dark rooms pose so much risk. For one, it is hard to navigate in a dark room without tripping. You can break a limb or even damage items that you knock on your way. The unnecessary accidents can be avoided by keeping a candle handy at home. A candle also serves where you do not need so bright light like electric light. Candlelight is very powerful, it enhances the aesthetic appeal of a room giving way to better relationships and conversations. How can you ensure you only have clean burning candles at home?

A candle can only benefit you only when you light it. The good news is that it will burn as long as there are wax and wick. These lighting products can be either scented or unscented. The choice made depends on what one wants to use the candle for. For romantic dinners, the scented would be most appropriate. You should be extremely careful when shopping for these products. What you buy determines whether you get clean burning or not.

Some manufacturers use wax from paraffin or petroleum sources. Generally, these are harmful to health. Manufacturers must declare on the labels what they have used to make the candle. So be keen to see that you only buy wax sticks made of clean wax. Clean wax should be naturally occurring and nontoxic like beeswax or vegetable wax.

The material used to make candle wicks also determines whether the product is safe or not. Ideally, wax sticks should be able to burn for up to 50 hours. But when the wrong material is used to make the wicks, it can barely last that long. Wicks made from lead materials are not safe. Manufacturers are aware that lead has been banned but they still use it to make candle wicks. So, be keen on the ingredients of a candle so you are not tricked.

Unscented wax sticks are very safe. But, a scent is powerful in lighting the mood of a room. The sweet smelling rooms are calming and soothing. Many people choose these products for the scent. As a guide, go for products that are scented from naturally occurring essential oils.

Candlesticks have successfully enabled many couples to have romantic dinners that remain memorable to them. Dying relationships have been revived from such candlelit romantic moments. Some use candlesticks for yoga sessions. All in all, the wax sticks must be non-toxic. It pays to spend the time to read through the labels to get only safe products.

Prepare the candle so that it gives you clean burning. A clean burn should not emit soot. It should be a beautiful light that is steady and just enough for the room. Trim wicks of candles to recommended length before lighting them. Have a good candle holder for a stable flame.

The negative effects can be avoided during candle shopping. With safe clean candlesticks, you are good to go. You, however, must remain alert once a candle is lit. Any abnormal flame should be noted and the light is blown out. It is safe to use a candle snuffer to put out the flame.
