Tips On Buying Clean Burning Candles

By Brian Johnson


A candle can add a warm ambiance to your home. However, the soot residue that results from it is not attractive. It can leave marks on walls, carpets or ceiling. It can also make the container look black after a while. The solution to this is buying clean burning candles. They will not leave any residue and burn clean. As all of them will produce soot, these types are meant to produce as minimal residue as possible. Below is a guide on how to get such products.

When you want to buy the products, consider going for those that are manufactured from natural ingredients. These ingredients may be some sources from animals or plants. They can be honeycomb, soybean, palm or coconut oil wax. Pure beeswax is said to burn not only clean but also produce negative ions which help in the purification of air by removing any odor. This makes your place smell fresh.

Soy wax produces very little to no soot that is less likely to trigger any allergies when compared to the conventional types. It is produced from soybeans. Palm wax is produced from palm oil which is extracted from palm trees. Ensure you go through the ingredients to confirm these sources before buying. A product may be described as beeswax but only contains a smaller percentage.

Additives, especially added colorants and chemicals that are not made from wax and fillers will lead to soot and other deposits in the air. It is a fact that such products with additives produce smoke. The perfume oils included are at a low-temperature state in contrast with wax making the wax softer. At it is flaming at such temperatures, there is no doubt it will produce too much smoke.

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.

You should also consider lighting the candle for a shorter while to reduce the amount of soot produced. A shorter time means only little to no residue will be produced. It is recommended you only light it for three to four hours and then leave the candle for a while before you light it again.

Ensure that the jar or container holding the candle has enough amount of oxygen. Some of them may suffer from lack of oxygen due to their design. When you are looking to buy a container, you must ensure it will allow in more oxygen. To add on this, blowing out the product will result in residues. You can prevent this by using a snuffer or pinching it out.

A candle which burns cleanly is the best choice for your home when it comes to improving the quality of air. Say goodbye to allergies by using a product manufactured from natural ingredients. Ensure you check for confirmation so that you do not experience any unpleasant residues.
