Tip of the day
Maintaining your candles
One of the most dangerous and messy things you can have with a candle be it container or pillar is a blow out, this happens in one of two ways. You have either burned your candle for to long or let the wick get to long. Now the danger is worse with container cause of flying debries and fire, plus the mess of cleaning up the wax and pieces of glass or what ever you candle was contained in. So always keep your wicks for burning less then a quarter of an inch long, and do your best to not burn your candles for more then 2 hours at a time. Keeping up with these two things will help you avoid setting fire to your home always a good thing as well those gross candle wax puddles that take forever to clean up. Now if you do have a blow out step one is put the candle out remember wax is a form of oil so dont use water to put the candle out you want to cover it with something to remove oxygen from the equation. Covering will also help minimize those messy wax spills. Now if your ready to clean up that mess the best way is steam cause it will clean up the mess as well as any stains and any left over scent(which is good if it got on the carpent and you have pets) if you dont have steam you always want to let the wax harden first it makes clean up alot easier and makes it less likely you will burn your self. Once its hardened you can brake up the pieces, and throw them in the trash now if its in the carpet break up as much as you can, then vaccum up the area before you add any cleaner, the reason is cleaners are solvents and will melt left over wax, now we all know not to use bleach directly unless you have white carpet, so what to do well you can use a carpet cleaner that is made for stain cleaning but if you dont have that simple vinagar, amonia, and warm water, equal parts should do the trick and yes I know vinagar can be stinky but just open a window and the smell will go away. Good luck and remember any questions I am your man.
