Votive candles usually have a rated life of 10 hours. Yet, oftentimes, they burn for far less. Here are a couple of tips to get the most out of your votive's life.
- You must use a votive holder that is the right size! If the votive holder is too wide or has an abnormal shape to it, the wax will spread out and the wick will be unable to burn all of it. If you have a lot of wax left after the candle has burnt out at the bottom of the holder, it was not the right size.
- Votive candles are designed from a low melt wax. This means that it spreads out easier then other types of candles. If the votive holder is fits tightly around the candle, it will burn longer.
The next time you are burning a votive candle, try these tips. Not only will you have less candle wax to clean up at the end, your votive candle will have burned longer!
