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.

Candles create air movement around it. Because it’s hot, the air around it rises, and is replaced by cooler air below it which then gets hot and rises over and over. The soot of the candle wax is carried up and away until it just settles again. You’d probably see it as dust. It’s not waxy after it is burned. So if you’re cleaning that room, and wiping things down, you’ll get most of it.
