Follow these steps to enjoy your candle safely and extend its life.
Candle Care Instruction:
- Keep wicks trimmed. Your candle is sent to you with wicks trimmed to the optimal burn height. Continue to keep wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch before each use to help prevent excessive smoke, minimize soot and promote an even burn.
- Burn the candle correctly. When you burn your candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the wax pool reaches the edges of the container. This ensures an even burn and prevents tunneling (where the candle burns down the middle but leaves wax on the sides). Ideally, the candle should burn for 3 to 4 hours each time to achieve this. Do not burn a candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
- Avoid drafts. Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, vents or fans. Drafts can cause uneven burning and excessive smoking. Keeping your candle in a stable, draft-free area helps it burn more evenly and safely.
- When to stop burn. When your candle burns down to 1/2 inch, stop burning for safety reasons.
- Reuse your jar. Simply freeze the remaining wax for 1 hour. Then pop out frozen wax, wash gently with soap and water, and get creative! You can put a tea light in the jar, a small kitchen plant, makeup brushes, toiletries and so much more.
✨If you notice a bit of wax clinging to the sides of the jar, there’s no need to worry! Our candles are designed this way to prevent the jar from getting too hot while burning. This wax residue will gradually melt down with each burn, typically starting to blend with the rest of the wax by the 4th or 5th use.
Wax Melt Care Instruction:
- Break off 1-2 cubes, place in your wax warmer. Do not overfill. Follow instructions from the manufacturer of your wax warmer.
- To remove used wax, melt slightly and gently push the hard wax out of your burner. Use cotton balls or tissue to scoop up the wax and dispose of the contents. Do not pour hot wax down your sink!
