Candle Care Guide

We’re here to ensure your candle experience is nothing short of spectacular. By following these simple guidelines, you can extend the life of your candle, avoid sooting/smoking, and ensure a safe burn:

1. First Burn Matters: When lighting your new candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the entire surface becomes liquid. This ensures your candle burns evenly in the future and prevents the dreaded “tunneling” effect.

2. Keep the Wick Trimmed: Before each burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm). This helps control the flame’s size and prevents excessive soot and smoking.

3. Create a Safe-Burn Area: Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable objects, and out of reach of children and pets. Always burn candles within sight.

4. Avoid Marathon Burns: Limit your candle’s burn time to 3-4 hours at a time. Extinguish the flame if it gets too close to the container’s bottom.

5. Know When to Say Goodbye: Discontinue use when there’s about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) of wax left at the bottom. Burning a candle too close to the end can cause the container to overheat and potentially crack.

6. Proper Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently blow on the flame to extinguish it. Avoid blowing too hard, as this can send hot wax splattering.

7. Avoid Moving a Lit Candle: Never attempt to move a burning candle or one with hot wax. Extinguish the flame, let it cool, and then move it if necessary.

8. Reuse or Recycle: Our candle containers are designed for reuse. After your candle is finished, clean it out and repurpose it for storage, decor, or as a small planter. Alternatively, recycle the container according to your local guidelines.

9. Enjoy Different Scents: Experiment with different candle scents to create unique atmospheres in your space. We offer a variety of fragrances to suit your mood and style.

10. Always Read the Label: Lastly, take a moment to read the label on your candle for any specific care instructions. Different candles may have unique requirements.

Remember, candle burning is a delightful experience, but safety should always be a top priority. Enjoy your candles, and may their warm glow bring peace and comfort to your surroundings.
