How To Buy Clean Burning Candles

By Brian Johnson


You can use a candle when looking for something to set the mood. The only disadvantage is that it can produce too much smoke that is unpleasant. This may also leave marks on your walls, floor rugs or even the ceiling. It may also darken the container holding it while flaming. You do not have to endure this as there are clean burning candles available. All candles produce soot, but these types produce very little or none of it at all.

Select products are made from natural ingredients. If you are interested in buying, your first choice should be a candle made from some wax sources. This includes palm, coconut, bees, and soy wax. Pure beeswax is very clean and is even claimed to have negative ions that clean the air removing odors and leaving your place feeling refreshed at all times.

Soy wax produces very little to no soot that is less likely to trigger any allergies when compared to the conventional types. It is produced from soybeans. Palm wax is produced from palm oil which is extracted from palm trees. Ensure you go through the ingredients to confirm these sources before buying. A product may be described as beeswax but only contains a smaller percentage.

The additives, more so added colors, fillers and non-wax chemicals produce residues and smoke which can be uncomfortable. It is said that these scented items will produce more soot as compared to the unscented ones. This is a fact since the perfume oils included produce the smoke. These oils are liquids that are at a lower temperature as compared to the wax. Hence the wax will become soft. Soot will be produced since this candle is flaming at lower temperatures.

To maintain a clean burning product, the wick should be trimmed to a quarter an inch before it is lighted. The wick is the thread normally found at the center of a candle to keep the flame burning through it. Soy products tend to burn very slowly hence wick trimming ought to be maintained to keep it burning without residue. You should confirm that the wick is not made with lead which not only produces smoke but leaves dangerous deposits in your home.

Another thing is to light the candle for a short while. The best recommended time for manufacturers is between three to four hours. Once the duration is over, you can wait for a while before lighting it again. Using it for a short time ensures less smoke is produced than lighting for longer periods.

Where the candle is kept should allow in as much oxygen as possible. Containers badly made will not allow in more oxygen leading to soot production. Buy a design that is suitable. You may also consider using a snuffer or pinching the item instead of blowing it off. As you have experienced soot after blowing it a few times, these are some of the most efficient methods you should try.

The air quality of your home will be better if you use a candle that burns without emitting the residue. There are a wide variety of such items that do not have any effects especially if you suffer from allergies. Choosing natural ingredients will help reduce your concerns about debris.
