Here are a few simple steps to getting the best out of your candle: 

#1 Trim the Wick / Check the Wax

Before every burn, you should trim your candle’s wick to ¼ inch long. Wick can be trimmed with a wick trimmer or scissors. Wick trimming helps your candle have a cleaner, brighter, and longer burn. During trimming, it is a great time to check for debris in the wax pool and remove any fallen wick, matches, or soot. Always remove debris in the wax to avoid any hazards. 

#2 Location, Location, Location 

Finding the best spot to place your candle is an important part of the burn. We recommend avoiding exposing the flame to moving air such as open windows, air conditioning units, heaters, or high-traffic areas. This will help keep the flame from being disrupted and lessen soot build up on container. 

It is always important to burn your candle away from anything highly flammable. NEVER leave a burning candle unattended and make sure the flame is completely out before leaving the room. Always let your candle cool before touching container and never move your candle while it is lit. 

#3 Start Well

The first burn is crucial for a long lasting candle. To avoid tunneling and wasting any wax, you should set aside enough time to let the candle burn to the edge and melt all the way across. Candles typically burn one hour for every inch in diameter. For example, if a candle is 3 inches in diameter, the first burn should be three hours. 

#4 Putting Out The Flame

Blowing out a candle can be as easy as a big puff of air but doing this can lead to soot and ash being stuck in your wax. A candle snuffer works the best, but if you choose to blow it out, use caution to avoid wax splattering.
