A few years ago somebody brought in some big (cheap) fragrant candles. After about a month the airconditioning outlets had a black sud on them and when I took my DA-88s in for service they had the same black stuff inside. Turns out, the candles were releasing petroleum into the air and that is not good for the electronics. I assume microphones could be harmed by that too.
Make sure you burn "clean" candles or it can be costly.
