A Guide to Candle Care & Safety
Here are some helpful tips for burning our candles:
Always trim the wick:
Before lighting your candle, make sure to trim the wick to ¼ inch. This will help the candle burn evenly and prevent the wick from getting too long.
Keep the wax pool clear:
When you light your candle, make sure the wax pool is free of debris such as wick trimmings, matches or any other foreign objects.
Let it burn:
The first time you burn your candle, make sure to let it burn until the entire surface is melted. This will help prevent tunneling and ensure the candle burns evenly throughout its life.
Burn it safely:
Always burn candles on a heat-resistant surface and keep them away from anything flammable. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Extinguish properly:
When you’re done burning your candle, use a snuffer or gently blow it out to avoid splattering wax. Do not use water to extinguish the flame.
By following these simple candle care tips, you can enjoy your candles longer and get the most out of your purchase.
