Tips in Using Soy Candles

Soy candles are slowly gaining its popularity from those who want to enjoy natural elements in their homes.  From a mere bean, soy has definitely come a long way and now man has discovered soy wax as the natural alternative material for creating candles.

There are different varieties of soy candles in the market.  You can find it in different colors, sizes and scents.  They even come in attractive glass jars and tins.  Perhaps the only area where soy is not suitable is on freestanding candles.  Soy wax is a lot more softer compared to paraffin wax so it is best that they come in their own glass jars or containers, as soy wax melts at a very low temperature.   If you prefer pillar candles for your homes then there is a need to mix soy wax with other wax for it to remain firm enough to hold the for of a free standing pillar candle.

Proper Way of Using Soy Candles

You have finally decided to buy soy candles for your home.  Although we have ensured that the soy candles that we produce are of high quality, once we ship our candles to you, we hand over the responsibility of caring and properly using it.

We have rounded up tips that will help you in safely and properly using soy candles.

•  Read the warning labels or instructions that come with the soy candles.
• Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use.  Avoid over-trimming it.  If it's too short then the flame will be too small and this will not allow the melt pool to reach the outer edges of the container.
•  If it's the first time that you're lighting your soy candles, make sure that you take time and let it burn.  This is to teach your candle burn marks.
• If you have a scented candle, allow the wax to pool all the way to the outer edges.  This will result to an even burn and maximum aroma dispersion.
• Don't leave the candle unattended and keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Never light or burn your candle on or near anything that is flammable.
• Keep yourself from getting burned by not touching the container when the candle is lit.  Use a heatproof plate if there is a need for you to move the candles from one location to another.
• Do not blow out candles, use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame.  This will prevent the wax from spraying.
• Keep it away from water because this could cause the wax to pop or splatter.
