Candle Care

Extinguish a candle if it smokes, flickers, or the flame becomes too high. These signs indicate that the candle is not burning properly and the flame isn't controlled. Let the candle cool, trim the wick, then check for drafts before re-lighting. 

The first burn is the most crucial moment for the candle. Allow the candle to burn all the way across to form a complete melt pool during the first burn. Allowing the top layer of the candle to form a complete melt pool will extend the candle's lifespan and performance. 

It is safe to trim your candle wick. You should trim it regularly to extend the candle life and performance. The wicks can be trimmed with scissors. 

Keep your candles away from areas where there are drafts and vibrations. Avoid placing your candle near moving air or highly trafficked areas. Once the candle has been lit, avoid moving it around too much. Keep your candle out of the reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. 

Allow your candle to cool completely before re-lighting it. Do not re-light it before the melt pool has completely cooled down. This allows the wax to settle and prevents the candle from tunneling. 

Stop using your candle when only 1/4" of the wax remains in the container. Burning the candle when there is less than 1/4" of wax remaining can cause damage to the surface that the candle is placed on and the container itself. It can also cause a fire when the container gets too hot or leaks.

When the candle is not in use, cover it with its lid. This will protect the candle from dust and debris. Dust and debris can affect the performance of the candle.
