How To Make Your Glasshouse Candles Last Longer




The unquestionable widespread appreciation for glasshouse candles online is something we'll always endorse. Without a doubt, everyone enjoys candles. The only thing that continues to amaze us is how quickly we are able to burn through the suckers.


In fact, there is a proper way to light a candle. And there are techniques to extend their lifespan. Never leave a burning candle unattended is the basic candle enjoyment rule. After all, that is fundamental safety.

  • Never use a new candle for a little period of time

When burning glasshouse candles for the first time, you should wait until a complete pool of melted wax has formed across the surface of the container, from rim to rim. This is due to the fact that wax has a memory, making it difficult for the wax pool to expand during repeated lightings after a burn. From that point forward, the candle will probably start to tunnel into the wax. The life of your candle will be shortened as the wick continues to descend deeper into the candle and the wax on the sides does not burn.

  • Trim wicks as needed

You can have a good, bright flame with a trimmed wick. Uneven burning from a long or crooked wick may result in intense flame bursts or smoke. For optimal burning, wicks should be about one-fourth of an inch high; do not trim them lower. It is recommended waiting until the glasshouse candles have completely cooled before turning it upside down. Your wick will be ready to light once the burned portion has been removed with a tissue.

  • Put out of the way of vents, fans, and draughts when lighting candles

Glasshouse candles online can burn unevenly due to air currents, and too much smoke or soot can leave unsightly black stains on your container. Small quantities of unburned carbon particles may escape if the wick lengthens excessively or an air current alters the flame's teardrop shape.

  • Keep all debris out of the wax pool

Keep used matches and fragments of cut-off or burned wicks away from the candle pool. The chemistry of the candle will be disrupted if debris is added to the wax, which could result in an inconsistent burn. This can cause the wick to become clogged, preventing the fragrance oil from being drawn up and diffused.

  • Before relighting a candle, allow it to cool fully

For both safety and functionality, it is worth the wait for glasshouse candles to cool down entirely, which takes around two hours. When the wax pool has solidified, trimming the wick is safer. If you plunge your fingers into a hot pool of melted wax before it has cooled and set, you risk getting burned.


The length of the candle's burn is crucial; never burn glasshouse candles online for longer than four hours at a time. The wax could not completely melt to the candle's exterior if you burn it for a shorter time than advised. Also, be aware of when to stop. When 10mm of unmelted wax is found in the bottom of the glass candle's vessel, you should put out the candle. This is to stop the glass from getting too hot and breaking.
