 With nothing to hide, we all try to save on anything: domylivaem the smallest piece of soap or instead of morning exercises trying to squeeze even though a droplet from a tube of toothpaste. Sometimes these habits can have a negative effect when for safety extra 30 rubles spent too much time and effort, but in other cases, simple rules can lead to substantial savings without compromising either physically or mentally, our state and the state of things saved. Today I want to share a little secret how to prolong the life of scented candles.
Of course, such candles are not something essential. But that's why they can and should save money. Especially now, when the crisis hit many purses. In addition, due to their nature candles simply "burn money", so let's try that they burned them less and pleasure for more.
 The first and basic rule -
cut the end of the wick before each use
Then the candle will burn more slowly and evenly. The length of the wick should be about 6-7 millimeters. If it is more, the candle will burn faster. Trim candle trimmer can be special or ordinary sharp scissors.
One of the biggest problems with candles - it
"Tunnels"
Which are formed around the wick: wax melts in the middle and left sides. Get rid of this phenomenon can control the time when burning candles. For example, if the candle has a 5 cm diameter, keep it lighted not more than two hours. Extinguish the candle and let it "rest" in the middle of the wax has cooled down and hardened - and can ignite again.
 When you light a new candle for the first time
It is necessary to carry out simple preparation. Light wick and extinguish it, until the molten pool of wax does not take almost the entire upper surface of the candle and not only the area around the wick. Then extinguish the candle and let the wax cool. Now you can light a candle in normal mode.
Ever
pay attention to the candle flame
If it is too flickering or smoke, extinguish the candle and let it cool, trim the wick, if necessary - is now possible to light it again.
 Do not put candles in drafts
Even a slight breeze will shake the candle flame, which is why the wax will melt unevenly. This will lead not only to the fact that the candle will look ugly, but it will also burn quickly.
And, of course,
Keep candles in a cool and dark place
That they do not melt or deform. Long candle store in a supine position on a flat surface, so they do not curl.
 Fans of "unusual" and "avid economy" can buy
special devices that are designed for heating scented candles
. If you are not important to have a spark, it is quite suitable option. The operating principle of the "heater" is that they are uniformly heated candle without melting it. As a result of heating, the candle enclosed therein allocates flavoring. These heaters are usually done in the form of small lamps, aroma lamps, vases, etc.
