Easy answer is NO. When you burn a candle, burning it all the way down until the wax is fully gone can be dangerous, When burning our candles burn them until there is about 1/2 an inch of wax left. If you continue to burn the candle past this point, you risk the container exploding! No one likes to glass to the face. So save yourself some trouble, and don't burn your candle all the way down. Usually at this point there is only a little bit of scent left in the wax any how. Another great tip, is keep the flames away from children, pets, and things that can easily catch on fire. Like curtains or drapes. Never go to sleep with a candle burning. To reduce soot, keep the candle wick trimmed to about 1/4th of an inch. Also keep the candle away from a drafty area, Drafts and long wicks create soot. For more information please watch the video. Candle Burning Tips
