1. Use a snuffer: A candle snuffer is a tool specifically designed for extinguishing candles. It works by smothering the flame, cutting off its oxygen supply. Gently place the snuffer over the flame and hold it there until the flame goes out.
2. Use a lid: If your candle has a lid, you can simply place the lid over the candle to extinguish the flame. This will also help to prevent the wick from smoking or smoldering.
3. Blow it out: If you don't have a snuffer or lid, you can blow out the candle. However, be careful not to blow too hard and spray hot wax everywhere. Also, be aware that blowing out a candle can produce smoke and may create a smoky smell.
4. Trim the wick: Once you have extinguished the candle, it's a good idea to trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before relighting it. This will help to prevent the wick from smoking and will ensure a clean, even burn.
It's important to never leave a burning candle unattended and to keep it away from anything flammable, such as curtains or bedding. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when using candles.
