Candle Care
Candle care is an important part of enjoying any candle. Proper care can help to extend the life of your candle, maximise its scent, and keep YOU safe while you enjoy it. To ensure the best candle experience, be sure to trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Don't burn your candle for more than two hours at a time and NEVER leave it unattended. Finally, keep the wax pool clear of debris to maintain a clean and even burn.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does even burn mean?
A candle that has an even burn means that the wax is melting evenly across the surface of the candle. This ensures that the candle burns for the same amount of time and produces the same amount of light and scent for the duration of its burning time. It also helps to prevent tunneling, which is when the wax melts faster on one side than the other.
Why is it necessary to cut the wick of my candle to 1/4 before use?
Before lighting your candle for the first time, it is important to cut the wick down to 1/4 inch. This will help the candle burn more evenly and reduce the risk of it burning too quickly or producing too much soot. Additionally, trimming the wick will help ensure a longer life for the candle so you can enjoy the scent and the light for a longer period of time.
How long should I burn my candle
Burning your candle for 1-2 hours at a time is recommended to ensure an even burn and maximum scent throw. Allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the jar before extinguishing to prevent tunneling. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
