Where do burned candles go?

689 views

I know this sounds like a silly question but when a candle bought at Yankee Candle burns away, and the jar is empty, is there a waxy coating on the walls of my room? Would one eventually over the years, be able to notice the waxy coating in the room? Are we breathing in wax while the candles burning? I have a lot of questions just like a five-year-old LOL. Someone please help.

No the wax changes into other stuff while it burns. It becomes small particles that dont feel waxy anymore, but they do fly through the room and land on things.
