Candle light for longer: ingenious tricks for cozy winter evenings!

Especially in the cold season, candles bring a warm atmosphere to our apartments. But many candles burn faster than we would like. A simple trick that the OE24 portal reveals is to sprinkle salt on the liquid wax pool of the burning candle. This should not only significantly extend the lifespan of the candle, but also protect the wallet. To apply the trick, the candle lights up, wait until a small wax pool has formed, and then sprinkle a small pinch of salt. This simple method ensures that the liquid wax is bound and the candle lights up longer.

Important care tips for candles

But not only salt can improve the burning time of a candle. Experts also recommend reducing the candle to about five millimeters to avoid a restless flame and excessive pouring. The Ludwigshafen24 portal points out that a wick that is too long not only looks unsightly, but also harbors health risks. Pour particles that arise when burning can be harmful to health and significantly deteriorate the air quality indoors. A shortened wick ensures a quieter flame and reduces the emission of pollutants such as fine dust.

Another tip is to put candles in the freezer before use. The cold wax becomes firmer and burns down more slowly. These tricks not only help to save money, but also ensure that the candles are uniform and safe, so that they can enjoy the cozy atmosphere longer. Remember to pay attention to these simple care tips at the next round of candlesticks and experience the advantages of an extended burning time!
