Candle Care Tips You Must Know
Step 1 -
Wick Maintenance: Before lighting, ensure the wick is upright and centered. Trim it to approximately 1/8” before each use. It is important to ensure wick is trimmed to prevent black smoke and soot.
Step 2 -
Maximum Wax Pool: During each burn, light for at least an hour, or until the wax pool reaches the candle jar wall. This is to prevent candle from tunneling. If it tunnels then you will not get to enjoy your candles fully as you will be getting lesser fragrance and burn time.
Step 3 -
Limited Burning Time: Burn no more than 3 hours, then allow to cool at least 5 hours before relighting.
Step 4 -
Safe Placement: Place candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Avoid placing it where there's a shelf above the candle and always burn within sight.
Step 5 -
Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in the room when burning candles.
Caution: Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Disposal: Leave the last 1/4 inch of candle unburn. Allow the candle to cool completely before disposing of any remaining wax. Do not discard in a trash bin while still hot.
