How Bad Is It.....Candles
How bad is it to let a candle burn to the very bottom?
You want to get the most out of that pretty glass enclosed pillar, but the less wax in the jar, the more likely the flame is to brush against the side and the bottom. And, if the glass gets hot enough, it could shatter. Even worse, without enough wax as a buffer, the flame could ignite debris, like a match that has been left in the candle, which could cause a blaze to flare up.
Candles cause nearly 10,000 house fires a year. So, avoid risking it by tossing glass-in candles once the wax drops below half an inch. Throw out all other kinds of candles when they get shorter than two inches.
BOTTOM LINE: SUPER BAD!
