How To Buy Clean Burning Candles

By Brian Johnson


You can use a candle when looking for something to set the mood. The only disadvantage is that it can produce too much smoke that is unpleasant. This may also leave marks on your walls, floor rugs or even the ceiling. It may also darken the container holding it while flaming. You do not have to endure this as there are clean burning candles available. All candles produce soot, but these types produce very little or none of it at all.

Your first choice should be selecting a candle made from natural ingredients. This includes different wax sources that make a product that will flame cleanly. They include soybeans, honeycomb, coconut wax, and palm wax. For instance, pure beeswax is said to be pure and contains negative ions which have the capability of removing any odor from air leaving it fresh.

A soy wax candle generates very minimally or no smoke at all. It is good for individuals with allergies as they will be safe using such a product. A palm wax item is made from palm oil obtained from palm trees. Ensure you look at the constituents of the item. Some of them may show they contain beeswax, but it may only be in lesser percentages.

The additives, more so added colors, fillers and non-wax chemicals produce residues and smoke which can be uncomfortable. It is said that these scented items will produce more soot as compared to the unscented ones. This is a fact since the perfume oils included produce the smoke. These oils are liquids that are at a lower temperature as compared to the wax. Hence the wax will become soft. Soot will be produced since this candle is flaming at lower temperatures.

To maintain a clean burning product, the wick should be trimmed to a quarter an inch before it is lighted. The wick is the thread normally found at the center of a candle to keep the flame burning through it. Soy products tend to burn very slowly hence wick trimming ought to be maintained to keep it burning without residue. You should confirm that the wick is not made with lead which not only produces smoke but leaves dangerous deposits in your home.

Another thing is to light the candle for a short while. The best recommended time for manufacturers is between three to four hours. Once the duration is over, you can wait for a while before lighting it again. Using it for a short time ensures less smoke is produced than lighting for longer periods.

Where the candle is kept should allow in as much oxygen as possible. Containers badly made will not allow in more oxygen leading to soot production. Buy a design that is suitable. You may also consider using a snuffer or pinching the item instead of blowing it off. As you have experienced soot after blowing it a few times, these are some of the most efficient methods you should try.

Using a product that flames cleanly improves the air quality of your place. It is not difficult to get such items as there are many of them in the market. All you have to do is look for those that are made from natural ingredients. They will not result in any dangerous debris in your home.
