🔥 Candle Care Basics

Trim the Wick
Trim to ¼" before each burn to prevent soot and promote an even flame.

The First Burn Matters
Allow the candle to burn long enough to create a full melt pool across the surface. This prevents tunneling and extends burn life.

Burn Time
Burn your candle for no more than 3–4 hours at a time. Always allow the wax to cool and reset before relighting.

Smart Placement
Burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface—away from drafts, curtains, children, or pets.

Extinguish Safely
Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid using the lid, which can trap smoke and soot.

Minimize Soot
Keep the wick trimmed and avoid burning candles in drafty areas. Regularly remove wick debris before relighting.

♻️ Repurpose & Store With Care

Reusing Candle Jars
Once your candle has burned through, clean and repurpose the vessel for storage, décor, or reuse.

Storage Tips
Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain fragrance and color.
