4 Ways to Put Out a Candle Without Black Smoke (Don\u2019t Blow it Out!)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nMethods of Putting Out a Candle You should Avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While there are some great methods of putting out candles, there are also some you should avoid as they create smoke or could damage or contaminate your candle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One method you should definitely avoid is blowing the candle out with your breath. This method creates quite a bit of smoke, which can alter the fragrance your candle has put into the room. You can also blow burnt wick pieces into your melted wax, which you don’t want if you want to keep your candle clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another method you should avoid is using wick scissors to put the flame out. This method involves you cutting the wick while it’s still lit, which will stop the remaining wick from burning. This method seems a bit dangerous and also creates a bit of smoke. The burnt wick will remain on the wick scissors but the smoke coming from it will alter the fragrance in the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, if you don’t cut far enough down on the wick, the candle could still remain lit and you could get burn pieces of wick in your melted wax. Or, you could cut the wick too far and the remaining wick will be covered by the wax once it hardens, preventing you from burning your candle easily in the future. If you do cut it too far and can’t burn it again, though, you can always place your candle on a candle warmer to still be able to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Burning a candle is a great way to add fragrance to your home and set the mood you want your room to hold. You have to keep in mind how you’re going to extinguish your candle, though. There are many great methods for you to choose from but the most convenient way to put out your flame is to use the lid that came with your candle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When using this method, though, you need to make sure that your lid isn’t flammable or doesn’t have any rubber molding that can be melted. If your candle doesn’t have a lid, there are also other methods, such as a snuffer or wick dipper, that can be used to put the flame out. These methods are great ways to keep your candle clean and ready to use in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
