Ever walk into a guest room and get hit with that “damp basement” whiff—even though the walls and carpet look spotless? Of course, you’ll want to have your house checked out by professionals, but in the meantime, try something simpler: light an EC3 Air-Purification Candle—a clean beeswax base with a citrus botanical blend (the honey and citrus combo smells amazing!).
As the candle melts, the oils vaporize and latch onto airborne spores, poking holes in their cell walls. Tests show that mold spore counts drop by roughly 60 percent after a two-hour burn in the average bedroom.
Quick burn routine:
- Set the candle on a stable table, away from drafts.
- Light it for 2–3 hours, then snuff it out. One candle covers about 600 square feet and lasts a total of 12 burn-hours.
- Run this three nights in a row to freshen a stale space, then once a week for maintenance.
Pair the candle with a quality air purification system like the ones from my friends at Clean Water Revival (tell them I sent you) and a dehumidifier set to 45 percent. No, it won’t fix a leaky roof or a black-mold patch behind the shower—that still calls for proper remediation. But for keeping everyday spore levels low enough that your sinuses stop complaining, this tiny flame pulls more than its weight.
