Candles can add a beautiful ambience and warmth to any home decor. To ensure they last longer and look their best, proper care and maintenance is key. Always burn them in a draft-free area and keep them away from windows, fans, and air vents. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting the candle to avoid excessive smoke and soot. Never leave a candle unattended and keep them out of reach of children and pets. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy your candles for longer.
