CANDLE CARE AND TIPS

Burning your Candle 

It is ideal to burn your candle in 4 hour increments, allowing the melt pool to reach the edge of the vessel. This is especially important for the first few burns! If a full melt pool is not allowed to be created from those first few burns, the melted wax will tunnel inwards and cover your wicks. As the wick gets shorter, and the further down the vessel it gets, the faster a full melt pool will be created. 

​

Trim your wicks! You won't regret it...

Trimming your wicks is a huge part of the safety of your candle and its esthetic.

Trimming your wicks will help control your flame height. Too high of a flame is a safety concern to nearby people, pets, and objects; not only from the flame becoming wild and uncontained, but by becoming too hot, causing the candle to burn too quickly.

Another major (and unpleasant) concern that comes from not trimming your wicks is black soot! That black soot coating the inside of your beautiful candle vessel (and sometimes the wall behind it) can completely ruin the esthetic a candle brings to your space. Trim your wicks to 1/4" before every burn. Our golden wick trimmers are perfect for the job, especially once the candle is burned lower down in the vessel. 

If your candle has been burning for a long period of time and you see black soot or too high of a flame, simply blow it out, trim your wicks and re-light.
