SIMPLE CARE FOR YOUR NEW CANDLES
CANDLE CARE
Thank you for choosing our hand-poured candle. To get the best and safest burn, please follow these simple tips.
Trim the wick
Before each burn, trim your wick to about ¼ inch (6 mm). This keeps the flame controlled and prevents soot.
First burn
Let your candle burn long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the top (usually 2–4 hours). This helps avoid tunneling and ensures an even burn.
LIGHTING THE CANDLE
Always use a long lighter instead of matches to light your candle. This gives you better control and reach, keeping your hands safe from the flame.
lighting the wood wick
Hold the flame to the wood wick for 5–10 seconds until it catches evenly, as wood wicks can take longer to ignite. For the first burn, you can also rub a small amount of melted wax or candle oil on the wick, this helps it catch more easily and ensures an even burn. If the wick goes out, let it cool for a few seconds and relight, it may take a few tries!
burn time
Don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow it to cool completely before relighting.
keep it clean
Make sure the wax surface stays free from wick trimmings, matches, or debris.
storing your candles
Store candles in a cool, dry place to protect both the wick and the wax. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause fading, warping, or uneven burning.
WARNINGS
Always burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
Keep away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.Stop burning when about ½ inch (1 cm) of wax remains to prevent overheating the vessel.
Do not move a candle while the wax is hot or liquid.
Extinguish gently using a snuffer, avoid blowing directly on the flame to prevent hot wax from spilling.
