Use tea lights longer
Different tea lights have different burning hours. One simply lasts longer than the other. There is nothing wrong with the original burning hours, but it can sometimes be annoying if a candle does not even last an entire evening. You keep going like this!
Helpful tip
Fortunately, there is a very handy (and easy) solution to this problem. And it’s even already in your kitchen! No extra costs and you can enjoy such a wonderful tea light for much longer. All you have to do is place your tea lights in the freezer for about two hours. You want them to be completely frozen when you take them out to use.
Why does this work?
Do you not yet fully understand how this works? We’ll explain it to you. Wax has a melting point between 50 and 80 degrees Celsius. So if the candle is completely frozen, it will take much longer to reach this temperature, melt and burn out. A frozen tea light can last an hour longer! Go ahead, put that bag of candles in the freezer.
Are candles burning unhealthy?
We wrote about it before: burning candles would not be good for you. But, it doesn’t necessarily have to be unhealthy either. It does depend on the amount, how often they burn, what material they are made of and whether there is good ventilation in the house. Ventilation is especially important: it distributes the number of soot particles better throughout the room, reducing your health risks. Read more about it here!
