How To Find Clean Burning Candles

By Kathleen Graham


Dark rooms pose so much risk. For one, it is hard to navigate in a dark room without tripping. You can break a limb or even damage items that you knock on your way. The unnecessary accidents can be avoided by keeping a candle handy at home. A candle also serves where you do not need so bright light like electric light. Candlelight is very powerful, it enhances the aesthetic appeal of a room giving way to better relationships and conversations. How can you ensure you only have clean burning candles at home?

A candle is beneficial only when burned. Sadly, it is during the burning that the risks from wax sticks manifest. For instance, if a candle is made of harmful chemicals, the toxins will be released during burning. When the fumes are inhaled then the damages happen. A candle typically has three parts of components; the wax, the wicks, and the scent.

When shopping for clean wax sticks, you must focus on the ingredients. The law compels manufacturers to mention what they have used to make their products and so you can tell from the components whether you are getting a clean candle or not. Generally, many of the products you will come across at the shelves are made of paraffin or petroleum wax. For those looking for safe and clean wax sticks, you should focus on natural wax-like wax from bees or vegetables like soy.

The material used to make candle wicks also determines whether the product is safe or not. Ideally, wax sticks should be able to burn for up to 50 hours. But when the wrong material is used to make the wicks, it can barely last that long. Wicks made from lead materials are not safe. Manufacturers are aware that lead has been banned but they still use it to make candle wicks. So, be keen on the ingredients of a candle so you are not tricked.

So, the candle is burning bright, the mood is set but there is also the sweet scent making it better. This scent is a product of fragrance ingredients in the candle. These too can be harmful to health. While some opt for the unscented type, those who love scent can still work with the ones made of pure natural essential oils.

For candlelit dinners, you may need to go for the sweet-scented wax sticks. Light several of them in the room. You may have them on the table or near the table. Yoga that is good for physical, mental and spiritual enrichment can also work well with scented type. The sweet smell will help release the stress out of the body, mind, and soul.

Besides buying safe candles, you also need to use them in a proper way. For instance, you need to have the candle placed in a safe place where it does not start other fires. You should have the candle put in a holder so that it burns steadily. The wicks need to be well trimmed so as to burn evenly.

The negative effects can be avoided during candle shopping. With safe clean candlesticks, you are good to go. You, however, must remain alert once a candle is lit. Any abnormal flame should be noted and the light is blown out. It is safe to use a candle snuffer to put out the flame.
