Candle Care

Your first burn is the most important.

​

Allow your candle to burn until the melted wax reaches all the way to the edge of the jar.

​

Recommended burn times:​​

• 18 oz Candle: approximately 2–3 hours

• 35.75 oz Candle: approximately 3–4 hours

​

This prevents tunneling and creates an even "memory burn" for the life of the candle.

Before every burn:

• Trim each wick to ¼ inch (6 mm).

• Remove any wick trimmings from the wax.

• Use a wick trimmer for the cleanest cut.

 

Keeping your wicks trimmed helps:

• Produce a cleaner flame

• Reduce soot

• Prevent mushrooming

• Extend the life of your candle

For the best performance:

• Burn your candle for at least 2 hours once lit.

• Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

• Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting.

​

This preserves fragrance quality and prevents overheating.

Always:

• Burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

• Keep away from drafts, ceiling fans, and open windows.

• Keep away from curtains and flammable materials.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

 

Drafts can cause uneven burning, excessive flickering, and soot.

Discontinue use when approximately ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.

Burning below this level can cause the glass container to overheat.

If the candle wasn't allowed to form a full melt pool during the first few burns, tunneling can occur.

​

To help correct it:

• Burn the candle for a longer session.

• Keep away from drafts.

• Ensure the wicks are trimmed properly before lighting.

This usually means the wicks are too long.

 

Simply:

• Extinguish the candle.

• Allow it to cool.

• Trim each wick back to ¼ inch before relighting.

Soot is typically caused by:

• Long wicks

• Drafts

• Burning longer than four hours

​

Trim the wicks and move the candle away from moving air.

For the best scent throw:

• Allow the wax pool to fully melt.

• Burn in an appropriately sized room.

• Keep the candle covered with its lid (if it has one) when not in use to preserve fragrance.

To keep your candle looking and smelling its best:

• Store in a cool, dry place.

• Keep out of direct sunlight.

• Replace the lid (if it has one) after each use to keep dust out and preserve fragrance.

​

Proper storage helps reduce discoloration and fragrance loss over time.

Once your candle has reached the end of its life:

1. Allow any remaining wax to cool.

2. Place the jar in the freezer for several hours.

3. Remove the remaining wax.

4. Wash with warm, soapy water.
