Candle Care Instructions

1. Lighting Your Candle:

  • Trim the wooden wick to about 1/8 inch before lighting. This helps ensure an even burn and prevents excessive smoke.
  • Use a long lighter or match to ignite the wick, allowing it to catch fire completely. Wooden wicks may take a moment longer to ignite than traditional wicks.

2. Burn Time:

  • Allow your candle to burn for at least 2-3 hours during each use, or until the wax melts evenly across the surface. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn.

3. Extinguishing the Candle:

  • Use a wick snuffer if available, to extinguish the candle without creating smoke.
  • Avoid using water to extinguish the candle, as this can cause splattering and may crack the container.

4. Wick Maintenance:

  • After extinguishing the candle, check the wick. If it's charred or too long, trim it back to about 1/8 inch before your next use.
  • Ensure the wick is centered and upright to promote an even burn.

5. Safety Precautions:

  • Always burn candles on a heat-resistant surface and never leave them unattended.
  • Keep candles away from drafts, pets, and flammable materials.
  • Ensure the candle has cooled completely before moving it.

6. Storage:

  • Store your candle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and warping of the wax.
  • If your candle is not used for an extended period, cover it to protect it from dust.
