For all those who enjoy (get pleasure from or take pleasure in) the treasured aroma of scented candles in glass containers...without the blackened soot!
At issue is the printed disclaimer on how to care for a scented candle in a glass container.
First - the opening/throat of the glass needs to have a "real wide" mouth to enable the fragrance to be emitted from the melted pool of wax for maximum satisfaction.
Second - keep the wick trimmed to 1/4" in height, out of a draft and limit continuous burning to no more than 3 hours.
Third - and best of all - Never blow out a candle wick flame or use a snuffer - when you extinguish the flame use a metal blade (like a table knife) and push the burning wick into the pooled wax. The flame is out with no smoke, no smell of a blown-out wick and the glass rims will not get black from the soot. With the same blade push the wick back to a standing straight position and ready for the next lighting...it really works!!!
