Beeswax Candle Covers are a Beautiful and Elegant way to dress up a Chandelier, Wall Sconce or other light fixture. They are also relatively easy to care for, with just a few simple tips:
- Use the correct wattage bulb- Beeswax candle covers are made from beeswax, which is a natural insulator. This means that they can melt if they are exposed to too much heat. The maximum wattage bulb that you should use with a beeswax candle cover is 25 watts.
- Avoid using shades or covers- Shades and covers can trap heat, which can cause the beeswax candle cover to melt. If you must use a shade or cover, make sure that it is made from a heat-resistant material.
- Avoid Sun Light- Direct sunlight can change the color of natural beeswax. The ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight can break down the wax's natural pigments, causing it to become lighter or even yellow. This process is called photobleaching. The amount of color change that occurs will depend on the length of exposure to sunlight, the intensity of the sunlight, and the type of beeswax.
- Let the candle cool completely before handling- Beeswax Candle Covers can become soft and pliable when they are warm. To avoid damaging the cover, let it cool completely before handling it.
- Store the Candle Cover in a cool, dry place- Beeswax Candle Covers can last for many years if they are stored properly. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Here are some additional care tips:
- If the Beeswax Candle Cover becomes dirty, you can clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Be sure to dry the cover completely before using it again.
- If the Beeswax Candle Cover becomes cracked or damaged, you can repair it with a small amount of melted beeswax.
- If you are not using the Beeswax Candle Cover, you can store it in a resealable bag or container to prevent it from collecting dust.
- If you want to prevent your Natural Beeswax Candle Cover from changing color, it is best to store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
