It is possible to extend the shelf life of candles by observing some storage rules. In this article, you will learn how to properly store wax accessories.
Choose the right place to store candles
The best storage location is a dark, cool place.
Room temperature should not exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
For example, choose a pantry, the bottom shelf of a linen closet.
Place candles in boxes or containers for storage.
The right temperature to preserve the integrity and aroma of the candle.
Sunlight oxidizes the wax, causing the smell to disappear quickly.
If the room temperature is too high, the wax will melt and oils will be released, which can stain the furniture.
Store candles in a container
The organizer will protect the candles from damage and protect the cabinet or shelf from oil leakage.
Do not stack candles on top of each other, as wax is easily scratched and damaged.
Use divider organizers for storage.
Do not wrap candles in paper, as it may stick over time.
Declutter old candles
There is no specific expiration date for candles; however, many candles lose their attractiveness during long and improper storage.
Try to use older candles first, and then start lighting new ones.
So you use all the candles that you have at home for their intended purpose.
