Candle Care

1. Trim wick to 1/4" before lighting. This helps the candle burn evenly and reduces soot for a cleaner, longer-lasting burn.

2. Let the wax form a full melt pool, melting from edge to edge across the surface. This prevents candle tunneling, which happens when wax builds up along the sides and doesn’t get used. A proper first burn sets the foundation for the rest of the candle’s life!

1. Trim wick before lighting. Keeping the wick at 1/4" prevents it from pulling too much wax, which can lead to excess soot, an uneven burn, or an oversized flame.

2. Recenter your wick as needed. Wicks may shift during a burn. After extinguishing the flame, gently reposition the wick to the center. This avoids soot buildup on the glass and reduces the risk of cracking your vessel.

1. Don’t burn your candle for too long. Extended burns can lead to a candle mushroom—the black residue that forms on the wick tip—causing excess soot and a larger flame.

To avoid this, burn your candle for about 1 hour for every inch of its width.

• A 2-inch-wide candle should burn for 2–3 hours
• A 3-inch-wide candle should burn for 3–4 hours
  

2. Always extinguish your candle before leaving the room and keep it away from drafts. Drafts can cause uneven burning, increase soot, and affect the flame. Never leave a burning candle unattended—safety first for a stress-free candle experience.
