Helpful Guidelines On Acquiring 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.

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.

Additives in candle results to residue and soot, more so added colors, non-wax chemicals, and fillers. All these additives results to smoke that can be uncomfortable. It is mostly thought that scented products are likely to produce smoke than the unscented ones. This is true as the perfume oils added results to the smoke. The oils are liquid at lower temperatures compared to wax resulting to it becoming soft. As the candle is flaming under lower temperatures, more residue will be produced.

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 you can do to keep the product from producing little to no smoke is to burn it for a shorter time. Most manufacturers recommend a burning time of between three to four hours. You can use it for a shorter while before lighting again later on to minimize the amount of soot produced.

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.
