Candle Care Guide

Welcome to our candle care guide! Proper candle care not only ensures a longer-lasting and cleaner burn but also enhances your overall candle experience. 

Follow these simple tips to get the most out of your candles:

1. Trim the Wick:
Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps prevent excessive smoking and ensures a clean, even burn. Trim the wick each time before lighting for optimal performance.

2. Keep the Wax Pool Clean:
Allow your candle to burn until the wax pool reaches the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling and maximizes the fragrance throw. Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

3. Burn Safely:
Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface and away from drafts, pets, and flammable objects. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and extinguish it before leaving the room or going to sleep.

4. Extinguish Properly:
Gently blow out the flame to extinguish your candle. This helps prevent wax splatter and prolongs the life of the wick. Avoid using the candle lid to extinguish the flame, as it can trap heat and cause the glass to crack.

5. Store Carefully:
When not in use, store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps maintain their color, scent, and texture. Avoid storing candles in areas with high temperatures, as this can cause them to warp or melt.

6. Repurpose or Recycle:
Once your candle has burned down, consider repurposing the container or recycling it. Clean out any remaining wax and use the container for storing small items or as a decorative accent in your home.

By following these simple candle care tips, you can enjoy a safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable candle-burning experience. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact us. Happy burning!
