Candle Care

 

 

 

 

 

1. Before Lighting

  • Trim the Wick: Always trim the wick to about ¼ inch (6-7 mm) before lighting it. This prevents excessive flickering and uneven burning.

  • Place the Candle on a Heat-Resistant Surface: Make sure the candle is on a stable, heat-resistant surface to avoid damaging furniture or surfaces.

  • Keep the Area Clear: Remove any flammable materials (like paper or fabrics) from the candle’s vicinity.

2. While Burning

  • First Burn: When you light a candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the wax melts across the entire surface. This prevents tunneling (uneven melting where wax is left on the sides).

  • Burn in 3-4 Hour Intervals: Don’t burn candles for more than 3-4 hours at a time to avoid overheating the container.

  • Monitor the Flame: Ensure the candle is always burning with a steady flame. If the flame flickers or smokes, extinguish the candle, let it cool, and then trim the wick.

  • Use a Candle Snuffer: When extinguishing the candle, use a snuffer to avoid splattering hot wax and minimize smoke. Blowing it out can cause excess soot.

3. Safety Precautions

  • Never Leave Unattended: Always keep an eye on a burning candle and extinguish it when leaving the room.

  • Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets: Ensure the candle is in a safe spot where pets and children can’t accidentally knock it over.

  • Avoid Drafts: Keep candles away from vents, windows, or fans to prevent uneven burning or potential hazards.

4. After Extinguishing

  • Allow the Wax to Cool: Let the candle completely cool before moving it or relighting.

  • Store Properly: Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping.

       By following these instructions, you’ll ensure your candles burn safely and last longer.
