Candle Care Tips
To enjoy your candle safely and get the longest, cleanest burn possible, follow these simple tips:
1. Trim Your Wick
Before each burn, trim your wick to ¼ inch. This helps prevent soot, mushrooming, and uneven flames.
2. Let It Burn Evenly
When lighting your candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the jar (usually 2–3 hours). This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn each time.
3. Burn Time Matters
Don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Extinguish it, let it cool, and trim the wick before relighting.
4. Keep It Safe
Always burn your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, pets, children, or anything that can catch fire. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
5. Know When It’s Time
Stop burning your candle when about ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the jar. This prevents overheating and protects the vessel.
6. Reuse or Recycle
Once finished, clean out your jar and repurpose it for matches, trinkets, or small plants — or recycle it responsibly.
✨ A little care goes a long way — it helps your candle last longer, burn cleaner, and glow just as beautifully as the day you lit it.
