Scented candles are a budget-friendly way to fill a room with a pleasant aroma and create a romantic atmosphere if necessary.
However, many people complain that the pleasant aroma immediately disappears and a burning smell remains.
Let's figure out what mistakes many people make when lighting candles.
The first and main mistake is to blow out the candles. In the process, more oxygen gets to the wick and then the smell of burning remains in the air.
Therefore, it is advisable to get special tongs or a candle lid that will help to extinguish it quickly and prevent the burning smell from spreading.
Also, the aroma evaporates instantly for the reason that you take too small candles. For every 10 square meters of the room, use candles weighing 180-220 grams.
In order for the scent to fully develop, it is important to burn the candle for at least 1 hour and no more than 4 hours in a row. This period of time is enough for the wax to completely melt.
