Candle Care & Tips

CANDLE CARE

  • When lighting your candle, allow it to melt to the edge to prevent tunneling.
  • Avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time.
  • Trim the wick before each burn to 1/4" to ensure the candle burns cleanly and evenly.
  • Keep the candle clean of wick trimmings and any debris.
  • Place the candle on a stable, flat surface away from flammable objects. Avoid placing near fans or vents.
  • Never leave a candle unattended while lit - keep away from pets and children.
  • In colder months, allow the candle to come to room temperature before lighting.

CANDLE TIPS

The last thing you want to see when lighting your favorite candle is black smoke. Definitely not the mood you want to set-let's talk about the simple steps it takes to correct this. 

  • Candles do not like to burn too hot; it can create smoke and make your candle burn faster. To avoid the candle getting too hot, avoid burning it for more than 4 hours at a time. 

  • Trim the wick after each burn and be sure to properly dispose of wick trimmings. You may use a wick trimmer, scissors or nail clippers. Your wick should be trimmed to ¼ inch above the set wax. Doing this will also extend the life of your candle. 
  • Don't forget to inspect for dust or debris before lighting. It may seem goofy, but those sneaky particles can mess up the wick or wax by catching fire, resulting in a smoky burn.

Don't be rude to your candle. Trim your wick!
