Trim the Wick Before Each Burn
Before lighting, trim the wick to about ¼ inch (6 mm). This prevents excess smoke, uneven burning, and carbon buildup on the wick.
-
Let the Wax Pool Fully
Allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface during each burn — especially the first one. This prevents tunneling (where wax remains unmelted at the edges) and ensures maximum fragrance release.
-
Mind the Burn Time
Burn your candle for 2–3 hours at a stretch — long enough to form a full melt pool, but not so long that it overheats the glass. Avoid burning for more than 4 hours continuously.
-
Place on a Stable, Heat-Resistant Surface
Always keep the candle on a flat, heatproof surface away from flammable objects, curtains, or air vents. Never place directly on furniture without a protective base.
-
Avoid Drafts
Keep away from direct wind, ceiling fans, or open windows. Drafts can cause uneven burning, flickering, and soot.
-
Never Leave a Candle Unattended
Always extinguish the flame when leaving the room or before sleeping. Safety first.
-
Keep Wax Free of Debris
Ensure the wax pool remains clear of wick trimmings, matches, or dust. This helps maintain a clean, steady flame.
-
Allow the Candle to Cool Before Moving
After extinguishing, let the wax solidify completely before touching or moving the jar. Hot glass may cause burns or cracks if handled immediately.
-
Extinguish Gently
Use a snuffer or dip the wick into melted wax to put out the flame without smoke. Blowing directly can cause splattering or uneven wick burning.
-
Store Properly
Keep candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Prolonged exposure to heat may soften the wax and affect fragrance strength.
-
Reuse or Recycle the Jar
Once the candle is finished, clean out any remaining wax with warm water and reuse the jar as a planter, pen holder, or decor accent.
