How can I make my candles last longer?

Do not leave candles in direct sunlight, in extreme heat or in extreme cold.
Keep burning candles out of drafts and away from ceiling fans. Drafts will make the candles burn unevenly, causing dripping and shorter burning times.
When burning multiple candles, place them at least 5 inches apart if possible. The heat from one candle will cause the other to burn too quickly and drip.

Pure beeswax candles often develop a cloudy appearance called "bloom." To remove, use a hairdryer on the lowest setting and gently heat the candle, constantly keeping the dryer moving.
Be careful not to melt the wax!
