Whether you're a candle connoisseur or new to the world of wax, our expert tips and tricks will empower you to maximize the enjoyment of every flicker and fragrance. From preventing tunneling to maintaining clean wax pools, join us on a journey to elevate your candle-burning ritual to new heights of indulgence and satisfaction.
Tip #1 - FIRST light
When lighting your candle for the first time, ensure it burns long enough to create a full melt pool, preventing tunneling. Keep in mind that candles have a memory, so maintain a wick trim of 1/4 inch to prevent uneven burning, dripping, flaring, or black smoke.
Tip #2 - maximizing burn time
Aim to burn your candle for 2-3 hours per session, avoiding periods longer than 4 hours to promote even burning.
Tip #3 - Keep Your Wax Pool Clean
Throughout burning, maintain the wax pool free of wick trimmings and any debris to ensure optimal performance.
Tip #4 - Safe Candle Placement
Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to mitigate potential heat damage to surfaces and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking.
Tip #5 - Wick maintenance
Before each burn, remember to trim your wick to 1/8 - 3/16 inch to maintain optimal burning conditions.
candle safety tips
Keep candles away from anything that could ignite.
Ensure candles are out of reach of children and pets, and avoid placing them in areas where they could be accidentally knocked over.
Allow the candle to cool completely and the wax to harden before touching or moving it.
If the flame grows too high or flickers excessively, extinguish the candle immediately. Before relighting, allow it to cool, trim the wick, and check for any drafts.
Use a candle snuffer to safely extinguish the flame, preventing hot wax from splattering.
Never use water to put out a candle, as it can cause the hot wax to splatter and potentially crack the container.
Always extinguish all candles before leaving the room or going to sleep.
