• 1. Trim the Wick:

    • Before each burn, trim the wick to 1/4 inch (6 mm). This prevents excessive flame, soot, and uneven burning.

    2. First Burn – Let It Pool:

    • On the first use, allow the candle to burn for 2-4 hours, or until the wax has melted all the way to the edges. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the life of the candle.

    3. Burn Time:

    • Limit each burn to a maximum of 3-4 hours. Allow the candle to cool before relighting.
  • 4. Avoid Drafts:

    • Place your candle away from drafts, vents, fans, or open windows. This helps the candle burn evenly and reduces the risk of uneven flames or smoke.

    5. Candle Placement:

    • Always place your candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface, away from flammable materials, pets, and children.

    6. Extinguishing the Flame:

    • Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame rather than blowing it out. This minimizes the risk of wax splattering and prevents smoke.
  • 7. Candle Safety:

    • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
    • Always burn candles within sight.
    • Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
    • Discontinue use when 1/2 inch (12 mm) of wax remains at the bottom to avoid overheating the container.

    8. Storage:

    • Store candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading or warping of the candle.

    By following these care instructions, you’ll maximize the life of your candle and ensure safe enjoyment!
