What is the best way to extinguish a candle?
A. The best way to extinguish a candle is with a wick dipper. This is a metal tool designed to push the lit wick into the pool of melted wax to put out the flame. After the flame is extinguished, use the dipper to gently lift the wick back up. It is now wax coated and ready for the next burn. Using a wick dipper to extinguish a flame eliminates the smoke, smell and splattering that may occur when you blow a candle out.
