Candle Care

Tips for Optimal Performance and Longevity

  1. Complete Wax Pool:
    Allow the wax to melt fully to the edge of the container during each burn (approx. 4 hours for 9oz candles, 2 hours for 3.5oz tins).
    Why: This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn.

  2. Trim Wick:
    Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn to maintain an ideal flame height.
    Why: A properly trimmed wick reduces tunneling and extends the life of your candle.

  3. Burn Time:
    Limit burn times to 5-6 hours for 9oz candles and 3-4 hours for 3.5oz tins.
    Why: Overburning can diminish the fragrance and shorten the candle's lifespan.

  4. Stable Surface:
    Place your candle on a flat, stable surface while burning.
    Why: This promotes an even burn and reduces the risk of tunneling or spills.

  5. Proper Storage:
    Store candles in a cool, dark place with the lid on when not in use.
    Why: This preserves the natural color and fragrance of the soy wax.

  6. Burn Environment:
    Keep candles away from drafts, fans, and vents while burning.
    Why: This ensures an even burn and reduces the risk of splattering wax.

  7. Extinguishing:
    Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame instead of blowing it out.
    Why: This minimizes smoke and keeps the wick centered.

  8. Wick Centering:
    After extinguishing, make sure the wick is centered before the wax solidifies.
    Why: This helps with an even burn for the next use.

  9. Avoid Burning to the Bottom:
    Stop using the candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom.
    Why: This prevents the container from overheating, which could cause damage or breakage.
