Candle Use

Instructions

How to properly manage the candle effectively to ensure the candle burn is successful

Step 1: Choose the right spot

  • Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
  • Keep it away from drafts, fans, or air conditioning to prevent uneven burning.
  • Ensure it’s at least 12 inches away from flammable materials like curtains or decorations.

Step 2: Trim the Wick

  • Before lighting, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch.
  • A properly trimmed wick prevents smoking, sooting, and uneven burning.
  • Use a wick trimmer or scissors for precision.

Step 3: First Burn is Key

  • Allow the candle to burn long enough for the melted wax to reach the edges of the container.
  • This prevents “tunneling,” ensuring an even burn throughout the candle’s life.
  • For most candles, this takes about 2–4 hours on the first burn.

Step 4: Monitor the Burn Time

  • Burn the candle for 2–4 hours at a time. Avoid burning for longer periods to prevent overheating.
  • If the flame gets too high or the container overheats, extinguish the candle immediately.

Step 5: Center the Wick

  • After extinguishing the flame, use a wick dipper or a similar tool to gently re-center the wick while the wax is still soft.
  • This helps maintain an even burn for future uses.

Step 6: Keep It Clean

  • Remove any debris, such as wick trimmings or matches, from the wax pool to avoid uneven burning and potential hazards.

Step 7: Extinguish Safely

  • Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish the candle.
  • Avoid splattering wax by blowing out the flame too forcefully.

Step 8: Store Properly

  • Keep your candle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  • Proper storage prevents discoloration and helps maintain the fragrance.

Pro Tips for the Best Candle Experience

  • Rotate Your Candles: Let them cool completely before relighting to prolong their life.
  • Avoid Burning to the Bottom: Stop using the candle when about 1/2 inch of wax remains to prevent overheating the container.
  • Enhance the Mood: Use candles in clusters or with reflective surfaces like mirrors to amplify their glow.
