- Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use.
- Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the container on the first burn.
- Keep the candle away from drafts.
- Burn candles for at least 2 hours but no more than 4 hours at a time.
- Always place candles on a heat-resistant surface.
- Never leave candles unattended.
- Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Trim the Wick:
Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch to prevent smoking and ensure an even burn.
Regularly trim the wick throughout the candle's lifespan to maintain optimal burning conditions.
Pay Attention to the Initial Burn:
For the initial burn, allow the candle to burn long enough, ideally 2 - 3 hours, to create a full melt pool across the surface. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the candle's life.
Mindful Burning:
Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it away from flammable objects, drafts, and pets.
Place candles on heat-resistant surfaces and avoid burning them near curtains or other fabrics.
Extinguish Safely:
Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish the candle instead of blowing it out, which can cause splattering.
Resist the Urge to Touch the Candle:
Most candle containers will get hot while it's burning, especially tin containers. Avoid moving a candle while it's still burning or the wax is hot to prevent spills and accidents.
