Follow these Candle Care & Safety Tips to get the most out of every burn:
✂️ Before You Light
-
Trim the Wick: Always trim your wick to ¼ inch before each burn to avoid smoke and uneven melting.
-
Remove Debris: Make sure no matches, trimmings, or dried flowers are left in the wax pool.
-
Burn Time: Let your candle burn until the wax pool reaches the edges (about 2-4 hours). This prevents tunneling and ensures even melting.
🔥 While Burning
-
Stay Safe: Never leave a burning candle unattended.
-
Keep Away: Burn candles away from drafts, pets, children, and anything flammable.
-
Flat Surface: Always place your candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface.
-
Don’t Burn Too Long: Limit burn time to 4 hours at a time.
❄️ After Use & Storage
-
Recenter the Wick: After extinguishing, gently center the wick while wax is still soft.
-
Cool & Cover: Allow candles to cool completely before touching or covering. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
-
Reuse Jars: Once fully burned, repurpose your jar for decor, pens, or flowers!
✨ Treat your candle like a treasure — and it will reward you with hours of fragrance and beauty.
