Using these Beatriz Ball SOHO Crosby Candlestick Holders is super easy. Just pick your favorite tapered candles and place them on top of the holders. You can use different colors of candles to match your mood or the occasion. For a really cool look, try mixing and matching different sizes and designs on your table. When it comes to maintenance, since they're made of an easy - care aluminum alloy, you don't have to worry too much. A simple wipe with a soft, dry cloth is usually enough to keep them looking shiny. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. And remember, although they're tarnish - free, keeping them in a dry place will help them last even longer.
