Candles create a special atmosphere in the house, but many times we don’t know how to use them correctly. Here, some answers and tips:

How close should one candle be to another?
If the candles are very close to each other, the consumption can be fast, since so much heat is generated that they can become deformed. It is recommended to leave a distance of at least ten centimeters between the candles.

How to prevent candles from emitting black smoke?
If the wick is too long, it will form more soot. If it is too short, the flame will not be good. Ideally, the wick should be about ten millimeters.And to extinguish the flame: it is better to suffocate it than to blow it, in this way less smoke is produced.

How to prevent the candle from being consumed on one side only?
This depends on the wick. It is important to move the wick until it is back in the straight position and in the middle of the candle.

How to keep the candle straight on the base?
The easiest is to place a drop of liquid wax on the base. If the candle is thicker than the candleholder, the base can be briefly immersed in boiling water and molded to fit the candle holder.
