Blowing out candles can push the wick down into the wax. When the wax solidifies, the wick is buriedand can get damaged when dug out. Blowing a candle out can also create substantial soot on the container. Our Unforbidden Scents candle snuffer is used to extinguish burning candles. The use of our snuffer helps to avoid problems associated with blowing hot wax/fire and keeps your candle beautiful and long lasting.
