Choose the Right Candle to Enhance the Ambience of your Environment
History
depicts that fire was used for several centuries when there was no electricity.
Obviously taking fire indoors was not safe so they invented candles which
glowed the entire night and people could carry out their daily work easily. Chinese
invented special type of candles that was called candle clock. This was used to
keep a watch on time. Weights were kept beside the candle and every time when
wax melted it put pressure on those containers. This pressure forced containers
to make noise which worked as an alarm.
Very
little is known about the material used in making candle at that time, but one
thing is sure, it wasn’t wax. People say
Chinese used whale fat and then Japanese started using squirrel, cow and sheep
fat but due to the awful smell that was emitted when they burnt, it was banned.
With time, people started using beeswax but now candles are made of soy wax,
beeswax, paraffin and many more.
With
changing trend, the demand for various types of candles has also risen. Now
there are variety of candles available in the market for luxury, therapy and
mood, depending on each category you will get different designs and fragrances
available.
Companies
like Wiff, have made effort in gathering
new and attractive fragrances that can deliver different kinds of mood every
time you burn them. They don’t come with the same old fragrances that you get
in all stores but they have their own creative team that work personally on the
essence. You can explore their website online and will know that imagination
can be limitless.
Not
everyone can manage a luxury candle. People usually decorate their house very
nicely with classic wall hangings, beautiful wall paint and to give it more
soothing environment they dim the bulbs and light the candles. Although the
candles are unique and so are the vessels, one thing that destroys the whole
setting is the black soot that surrounds the jar. The soot dims the light
further and poor wick maintenance is responsible for this.
A
few things that you should follow when you want a clean vessel and longer
burning candle are as follows –
·
It is said that the upper
coating of wax is hard and full of dye and chemicals therefore, when you first
light your candle make sure you allow it to burn for couple of hours.
·
Don’t put your candle near
windy area where it blows more and is consumed faster.
·
When you are done burning
your candle ensure that you trim the wick. This will keep black smoke and
longer flames away from vessel when you burn it.
·
It is possible that your
wick might shift from its place when wax melts. Thus, after blowing it off,
before wax freezes bring back wick to the centre with the help of a stick to
avoid blackening of glass.
·
Cover the vessel with lid
to avoid dust settling on wick and candle. These not only looks untidy but when
dust burns, it fades the fragrance.
·
Maintaining the candle jar
is also important so that there isn’t any black soot settling on it. You can
either clean it with soap and water or by dipping it in warm water and then
cleaning it with paper towel.
These
few tips not only help in maintaining a clean and glowing candle flame but also
look attractive when you invite your guests.
