Over the past 6 months I have phased out all wax candles in our rental votives and candelabras by switching to fuel cell candles and now I am happy to say I have made the switch over for all our floating candles, making all our candles 100% wax free.
I have made the switch to fuel cell candles for a few reasons.
a. they burn cleaner
b. they burn more consistant
c. they leave no soot or wax residue behind
d. clean up is a breeze
e. There is little smoke when they are blown out
The best part is they are non toxic and the empty cells are completely recyclable.
Below is a few pictures of what they look like floating and in a votive holder. I love how the flame of the floating candles reflect off the water underneath the candle. Unlike disk wax candles the the candle blocked the reflection of light from underneath.
