Candle Wick Care
To get the most out of your candle and enjoy the best burn, here are a few tips:
Trim the Wick: Before each burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps prevent the flame from getting too large, reduces soot, and ensures an even burn.
First Burn: On the first burn, let the candle melt across the entire surface (from edge to edge) to prevent tunneling. This can take 2-3 hours, but it's worth it for an even melt pool.
Avoid Drafts: Burn your candle in a room with minimal airflow. Drafts can cause uneven burning and flickering, shortening the candleβs life.
Burn Time: To prevent overheating, aim to burn the candle for 2-4 hours at a time. Burning it too long can cause the wax to overheat and burn too quickly.
Keep the Surface Clean: If you notice any debris or burnt wick trimmings in the wax, gently remove them before lighting the candle again to ensure a clean burn.
Extinguishing the Flame: Instead of blowing it out, use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. This minimizes smoke and helps preserve the scent.
Storage: When you're not using your candle, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the wax from fading or warping.
