Where do burned candles go?

697 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.

Go into the house of a person that burns a lot of candles and you can easily see that burning candles does absolutely leave a layer of soot on everything in the house, especially the ceiling above the candle where the hot air rises to. Candles burn pretty clean but burn enough and the whole area gets very gross.
