Candle Care

Love at First Burn

To ensure an even burn and maximize your candle’s lifespan, always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. On the first burn, allow the wax to melt across the entire surface, reaching the edges of the vessel. This prevents tunneling and promotes an even burn throughout the candle’s life.

Trimming Your Wick

Regular wick trimming is essential for a clean, even burn. Always trim your wick to 1/4 inch before each use. This helps prevent “mushrooming,” which can cause excessive soot and smoke. A properly trimmed wick controls the flame size, allowing you to enjoy your candle longer. For those who love their candles, a wick trimmer can be found [here].

Don’t Burn Your Candle All the Way Down

For safety reasons, never burn a candle when less than 1/4 inch of wax remains in the jar. While it may be tempting to use every bit of wax, a solid base is needed to prevent overheating and potential damage to the glass.

Maximize Your Scent Throw

To achieve the best fragrance experience, keep windows and doors closed in your desired space for at least 30 minutes before entering. While open windows and doors can help distribute scent, they may also dilute it. Additionally, drafts can lead to uneven burning, excessive smoke, and reduced scent throw.
