Candle Care 101

1. Keep the Wick Trimmed: Before lighting your candle, make sure to trim the wick to about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) for optimal performance. This prevents excessive flickering and uneven burning.

2. Prevent Tunneling: During the first burn, allow the wax to melt across the entire surface of the candle. This helps avoid tunneling and promotes an even burn throughout the candle's lifespan.

3. Burn in Intervals: It's best to enjoy your candle for 2-3 hours at a time. This allows the wax to melt evenly and prevents the container from overheating or the wick from mushrooming.

4. Avoid Drafty Areas: Find a cozy spot away from drafts to place your candles. Drafts can cause uneven burning and increase the risk of accidents. Keep candles away from open windows, fans, and air conditioning vents.

5. Choose a Heat-Resistant Surface: To protect your surfaces from heat damage, always place your candles on a heat-resistant base. Steer clear of flammable materials like wood or textiles.

6. Extinguish with Care: Safely extinguish your candle using a candle snuffer or by gently blowing out the flame. This prevents wax splatter and ensures a smoke-free experience.

7. Keep Candles Still: For safety reasons, avoid moving candles while they are lit or the wax is in a liquid state. Let them cool and solidify before handling.

8. Proper Storage: Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve their color, shape, and scent.

9. Maintain a Clean Wax Pool: To ensure a clean burn, remove any debris like wick trimmings or matches from the wax pool. This prevents them from catching fire and keeps the flame flickering peacefully.

10. Prioritize Safety: Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep them out of reach of children and pets. Always follow the instructions and warnings provided by the manufacturer.
