Decorative candles can be lit at any time of the day or night, whenever you want - the main thing is to do it correctly.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, spoke about the nuances of handling such decorative elements.

How to Light Candles

To ensure that the candles burn evenly and slowly, they should be cooled slightly before lighting.

When lighting a new candle, it is recommended to trim the wick so that its length does not exceed 5 mm. This will ensure a bright, even flame without unpleasant crackling.

If you prefer scented candles, do not let them burn for more than three hours - after this time, they usually stop releasing fragrance.

How to Extinguish Candles

When extinguishing candles, it is not recommended to blow them out - instead, use special "extinguishers".

Some candles are already sold with these devices in the form of lids that tightly close the candle and thus extinguish the flame.
