Candle care is important to ensure the quality and life of your candle. I do my part in making your candles clean, non toxic, with the ability to burn clean, and have a fantastic fragrance throw. But, IT does not end with me! Here are some tips you follow to ensure you have a long lasting and clean burning candle experience.
First and foremost, safety first. Open flames can be dangerous so please never leave your candle unattended.
- Prior to lighting your candle, and while burning it, avoid drafts, vents, or any sort of air current.
- Your first burn is probably the most important one. Burn your candle for 4 hours, or until the wax melt pool reaches the edges of the candle jar.
- Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time. This will ensure a clean burn every time, it will avoid a large flame and soot.
- ALWAYS, I mean, ALWAYS trim your wick prior to lighting your candles. Your wood wick should be trimmed to 1/8 inch. Not trimming your wick causes carbon build up and that is how you end up with a large flame, black candle wax, and black candle jar.
- If your candle is burning and you notice soot or a high flame, extinguish the flame, trim the wick, and relight it.
- Never leave your candle unattended or within the reach of children or pets.
