Candle Care Tips: How to Get the Most from Your Candle
Proper candle care helps extend burn time, improve performance, and create a safer, more enjoyable experience. With a few simple habits, your candles can burn more evenly and last longer.
Trim the Wick Before Each Burn
Keeping the wick trimmed to about ¼ inch helps control the flame and prevents excess soot. This also promotes an even melt pool and cleaner burn.
Allow the Wax to Melt Fully
When lighting a candle, allow the wax to melt across the entire surface during the first burn. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures consistent performance over time.
Burn Candles Safely
Always place candles on a heat-resistant surface and keep them away from drafts. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and extinguish it if the flame becomes too high.
Store Candles Properly
Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve fragrance quality and maintains the candle’s appearance.
