The ultimate guide to maximizing your candle's lifespan

So you've just purchased a new candle and you want to make it last as long as possible. Luckily, there are a few simple tips and tricks you can follow to ensure that your candle burns evenly and stays fragrant for longer.

Trim the wick

One of the most important steps in making your candle last longer is to trim the wick before each use. A long wick can cause the candle to burn too quickly and unevenly. Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting your candle to ensure a clean and even burn.

Avoid drafts

Placing your candle in a drafty area can cause it to burn unevenly and can also make it burn faster. To make your candle last longer, place it in a spot where it won't be affected by drafts, such as away from windows or doors.

Burn in intervals

Instead of burning your candle for long periods of time, try burning it in shorter intervals. This will help the candle burn more evenly and will make it last longer overall. Aim to burn your candle for 2-3 hours at a time before extinguishing it.

Use a candle snuffer

Instead of blowing out your candle, consider using a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. Blowing out the candle can cause the wick to move and can create smoke, which can affect the scent of the candle. Using a snuffer will help preserve the integrity of the wick and the scent of the candle.

Store properly

When you're not using your candle, make sure to store it properly to help preserve its scent and longevity. Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wax from melting or the scent from fading.
