Proper candle care is essential for optimal performance and safety. To maintain your candles, follow these steps:

1. Trim the wick: Keep the wick trimmed to approximately 1/4 inch (6-8 mm) before each use. This helps ensure a steady flame, reduces soot production, and prevents excessively large flames.

2. Create a melt pool: Allow the candle wax to melt evenly across the entire surface, reaching the edges of the container before extinguishing. This prevents tunneling and ensures even burning throughout the candle's life.

3. Burn time: Limit each burning session to around 2-4 hours to prevent overheating the container and ensure the candle's longevity.

4. Store properly: Keep candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, to preserve their fragrance and appearance.

5. Use a heat-resistant surface: Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to prevent damage to surfaces and reduce fire risk.

Yes, beeswax candles can help clean the air to some extent. When burned, beeswax candles release negative ions that can neutralize pollutants, such as dust, pollen, and other allergens, improving indoor air quality. Additionally, beeswax candles burn with a bright, steady flame and produce minimal soot, making them a cleaner and more eco-friendly option compared to paraffin candles. 

Beeswax candles offer several advantages over other types of candles, making them a popular choice for many consumers. Key benefits include:

• Natural and eco-friendly: Beeswax is a renewable resource produced by honeybees, making these candles more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to candles made from petroleum-based products.
• Clean burning: Beeswax candles burn with minimal soot and smoke, reducing indoor air pollution and ensuring a cleaner burn than paraffin candles.
• Air purifying: As beeswax candles burn, they release negative ions that can help neutralize air pollutants such as dust, mold, and allergens, potentially improving air quality.
• Hypoallergenic: Beeswax candles are less likely to cause allergic reactions, making them a suitable option for individuals with allergies or sensitivities to artificial scents or chemicals.
• Long-lasting: Beeswax candles have a slower burn rate, allowing them to last longer than other types of candles, such as soy or paraffin.
• Pleasant aroma: Beeswax candles emit a subtle, natural honey scent when burned, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

These benefits make beeswax candles an appealing option for consumers seeking a natural, clean-burning, and long-lasting candle that also offers potential air-purifying properties.
