Candle Care

A great candle experience begins with proper candle care and maintenance.

  • TRIM THE WICK. Keep your wick trimmed to 1/4" at all times.
  • LET THE WAX POOL. Each time you burn your candle, allow the entire top layer to become a warm pool of liquid wax and you'll get the biggest, boldest scent possible with the longest burn times.
  • BURN IT SAFELY. Always burn your candle on a safe flat surface, keep it out of drafts and NEVER leave it unattended while lit.
  • DIP YOUR WICK. Extinguish your wick rather than blowing it out to prevent an overabundance of smoke.

 

Friendly reminder...

 

As with all candles, the first burn is the most important (your candle has a memory!). It’s crucial that your candle burns completely liquid across the surface EVERY time you burn it. The time it takes for the candle to become completely liquid depends on the wax, fragrance, surface it’s on, and the temperature of the room it’s in. Typically this is between 2 to 4 hours. Burning a candle is meant to be a MAJESTIC experience, so make sure you can settle in with it for at least as long as it takes to burn across the surface. 

If the wax is not allowed to liquefy or to melt from edge to edge of the jar or tumbler, it will create a “tunnel”. This is especially important the first time the candle is lit. Once a candle has tunneled, it will continue to burn that way for the life of the candle, thus eliminating that full burn time your candle promised.
