Welcome to our candle care page! Taking care of your candles not only ensures that they burn cleanly and evenly, but also extends their lifespan and enhances your overall candle experience. Whether you're a seasoned candle enthusiast or a first-time candle user, this guide will provide you with the best practices for burning, storing, and maintaining your candles. By following these simple tips, you can enjoy your candles to the fullest and make the most out of your candle collection.
- Always trim the wick to ¼ inch before lighting the candle to prevent excessive flame height, smoking, and soot build-up.
- The first time you light your candle, allow it to burn for at least 2-3 hours or until the entire surface of the wax is melted to ensure an even burn in the future.
- Keep your candle away from drafts, as this can cause an uneven burn, smoking, and decrease burn time.
- Always keep your candle on a level, heat-resistant surface and out of reach of children and pets.
- Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time, as this can cause the wick to mushroom and the candle to produce soot.
- Extinguish the flame by using a snuffer or gently blowing out the flame. Do not use water to extinguish the flame.
- To prevent tunneling, make sure the wax pool reaches the edges of the container before extinguishing the candle.
- If you notice the flame getting too high, the wax pool getting too hot, or smoke coming from the candle, extinguish the flame and let the candle cool before trimming the wick and relighting.
