Candle Care

Before Burning

  • Trim the wick to 1/4 inch (6 mm) before each burn.

    • If it’s a wood wick, trim to about 1/8 inch and remove any charred wood before relighting.

  • Place on a heat-resistant, level surface, away from drafts, curtains, pets, or kids.

While Burning

  • Burn for 2–3 hours minimum on the first burn to allow the wax to melt edge to edge. This prevents tunneling.

  • Do not burn longer than 4 hours at a time. This keeps the jar from overheating and preserves the scent.

  • Keep the wax pool free of debris like wick trimmings or dust.

  • If the flame gets too high or flickers excessively, extinguish it, let it cool, and trim the wick before relighting.

When to Stop

  • Discontinue use when about 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.

  • Burning beyond that can overheat the glass and pose a fire risk.

After Use

  • Let the wax solidify before putting the wooden lid back on.

  • Store the candle with the lid on to preserve fragrance and prevent dust.

Extra Tips

  • Use a candle snuffer to avoid smoke and wax splatter.

  • For wooden wicks, if the candle won’t stay lit, the wick may be too long or buried in wax. Gently trim and clean around it.
