Why sprinkle salt into the candle?
The hack for long-lasting scented candles
A simple home remedy with a big impact: The "salt trick" is a real insider tip among candle lovers. But what exactly happens when you add a pinch of salt to the liquid wax? We'll explain how you can further optimize the burning time of your high-quality scented candles .
Here's how the salt trick works: As soon as your candle is burning and a small, liquid puddle of wax has formed around the wick, simply sprinkle in a small pinch of ordinary table salt.
The advantages at a glance:
- Extended burning time: The salt raises the boiling point of the wax, causing it to melt more slowly. This transforms your favorites into truly long-lasting scented candles that burn up to 30% longer.
- Less soot: Salt acts as a catalyst for cleaner combustion. This not only protects your walls but also preserves the purity of the aromas in your strong scented candles .
- Not a drop: The salt helps to bind the liquid wax better, which prevents unsightly dripping, especially with freestanding candles.
