Be more environmentally conscious to help save planet earth. Avoid using paraffin candles which are made from petroleum, a non-renewable resource. Light soy jar candles instead. These can last up to 50% longer than their more expensive counterparts. Wax spills from soy candles are also easily cleaned up with hot soapy water.

One unhealthy byproduct of paraffin candles is soot. This should be avoided as much as possible because it is very unhealthy to the lungs and can also eventually make furniture and walls unsightly. Soy candles produce about 90% less soot than paraffin. Too, scented soy candles distribute more aroma to the air because soy candles has faster scent dispersion properties.
