General Candle Care + Wick Trimming
-
Trim the wick to ¼” before lighting every time. This makes all the difference in the longevity and clean burning of your candle. A long wick burns much too hot and will both use up the candle more quickly and create soot. Use a wick trimmer or use nail clippers to get a close cut!
​
-
Burn your candle for up to 3-4 hours at a time. It’s very important that the first time you use the candle to burn it long enough for the melted wax to reach the edges of the container. This prevents the wax from building up and possibly tunneling during future use.
​
-
Never leave a candle burning unattended or within reach of a draft, pets, or small children.
​
-
If the flame seems high or the container is too hot in the midst of burning, simply extinguish the flame, let it cool down, trim the wick and restart!
