Most of us have long lit candles incorrectly

Let's learn some of the secrets in lighting candles correctly, not everyone knows below.

The first important step you need to do is to shorten the candle wick . The next time you light a candle, do not forget to cut the short wick of about 0.3cm to 0.6cm like the image on the left. You can use scissors, nail clippers or specialized tools to make this easier.

Shorten the wick of the candle to about 0.3cm to 0.6cm as shown on the left.

According to Business Insider, the reason is that the wick is cut short, making the candle light become more clear and clear while the long wick makes the flame look like a mushroom and not as bright.

Short cut wicks will make the candlelight become brighter and clearer.

Besides, too long wicks are one of the leading causes of smoke stains on glass jars containing your candles. Short cut wick candles will help you control the fire better and prevent the formation of stains from the beginning.

Too long wicks are one of the leading causes of smoke stains on glass containers with candles.

When lighting a long candle, it is better to let it burn a little longer so that the melted wax forms a relatively flat surface around the candlestick. This will help the candle not to shift to one side or worse, to concave in the middle, making the candle lighting next time more difficult.

This is an image of the wick of the candle being "sunk" deeper and deeper into the wax - the result of not having the "shape" wax properly.

Not only that, the leftover background around will be a waste not small if you do not know how to take advantage and just throw it away.

While it takes a little longer, leaving the candle wax to create a plane will help the cup to make the candle cleaner and help you make the most of your candle.

Do not buy candles with a diameter of 8cm or more.

Buy candles with many wicks . Not everyone has time to wait for candle wax to melt and form a flat surface so the simple solution is to use candles with two or three wicks. This means more heat will be generated and the wax will also melt faster.

Another important thing to note is that do not buy candles with a diameter of 8cm or more . Because the single wick in the candle will not produce enough heat to melt the wax on the outside.

In addition, you should not leave a burning candle in a drafty or inhabited area because this can cause the fire to deviate to one side and create unwanted black streaks on the cup.
