Proper Wick Trimming
aring for your candle starts with the wick. A well-trimmed wick ensures a clean, even burn and helps your candle last longer.
- Trim before every burn. Always trim your wick to about ¼ inch (6 mm) before lighting. This prevents the flame from getting too large and producing soot or smoke.
- Use the right tool. A wick trimmer, nail clippers, or small scissors work perfectly — just make sure the cut is clean and even.
- Remove debris. Always clear away any wick trimmings or ash from the surface of the wax before relighting your candle.
- Avoid “mushrooming.” If you notice a small carbon ball forming at the tip of the wick after burning, trim it off once the wax has cooled. This helps maintain a steady flame and optimal scent throw.
Safe Burning Practices
For your safety and the best candle experience:
- Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children, pets, and anything flammable.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish it before leaving the room.
- Limit each burn session to no more than 4 hours at a time.
- Allow the candle to cool completely before touching, moving, or relighting.
Remember: A little care ensures a beautiful, safe, and lasting glow every time you burn your candle.
Extending Candle Life
Make the most of your candle with a little care:
- Let it burn evenly. On the first burn, allow the wax to melt fully to the edges to prevent tunneling.
- Keep the wick trimmed. A short, clean wick ensures a steady flame and minimizes soot.
- Avoid drafts. Breezes can cause uneven burning and wasted wax.
- Store with care. Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its scent and color.
Tip: Proper care helps your candle burn cleaner, longer, and more beautifully every time.
Candle Storage Tips
Keep your candles at their best with simple care:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent fading or melting.
- Keep lids on (if applicable) to protect the fragrance and keep dust out.
- Avoid temperature extremes, as fluctuations can cause cracks or sweating.
- Upright and stable: Always store candles standing upright to maintain their shape and wick position.
Tip: Proper storage keeps your candles beautiful, fragrant, and ready to enjoy anytime.
