Candle Care Guide

Tips for a Brighter, Longer-Lasting Glow

  1. Trim the Wick:
    Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to prevent excessive flickering, soot buildup, and uneven burning.

  2. Create a Full Melt Pool:
    Allow the candle to burn until the wax melts completely to the edges of the container during each use. This prevents tunneling and maximizes the fragrance throw.

  3. Burn Time:
    Avoid burning candles for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating and ensure the integrity of the candle.

  4. Extinguish Safely:
    Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish the candle. Avoid blowing or dipping the wick into the melted wax.

  5. Wick Maintenance:
    After extinguishing the candle and while the wax is still liquid, re-center the wick if it has shifted to ensure an even burn in the future.

  6. Avoid Drafts:
    Place candles away from drafts, vents, or fans, as they can cause uneven burning, dripping, or the candle to burn too quickly.

  7. Protect Surfaces:
    Always place candles on a heat-resistant surface to prevent damage to furniture or countertops. Avoid placing candles on delicate or flammable surfaces.

  8. Storage:
    Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration, melting, or changes in fragrance.

  9. Safety Precautions:
    • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
    • Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
    • Do not place candles near curtains, bedding, or other flammable materials.
    • Use caution when handling candles, especially when wax is hot.

  10. Container Candles:
    Discontinue use when the wax level reaches 1/2 inch from the bottom of the container to prevent overheating and potential damage to surfaces.

By following these candle care tips, you can ensure a safer, longer-lasting, and more enjoyable candle-burning experience while maximizing the beauty and fragrance of your candles.
