Candle Pro Tips

Follow these tips to get the most out of your candles.

No. 1

Safety First

Always burn candles with in sight and NEVER leave unattended. Open flames are dangerous, candle with care.

No. 2

Trim Your Wick

Always trim your wick to ¼ inch before lighting for an optimum burn. Only trim your wick when your candle is completely cooled!

No. 3

Let It Burn

Always burn your candle long enough to allow melted wax to reach the edge of the container to avoid tunneling. Extinguishing your candle before the melted wax has reached the edges will create a tunnel down the middle and could result in lots of leftover wax.

No. 4

Draft Free Zone

It is important to burn your candle in an area that is free from drafts, fans and wind. Any bursts of air that cause your candle flame to dance around are also causing your candle wick to draw fuel at an inconsistent rate.

No. 5

Snuff It Out

Don’t blow out your candle. Blowing out a candle also creates smoke in your room, and that is never pleasant. Use the candle lid to extinguish the flame!

Candle Pro Tips

  1. Allow your candles to burn for a minimum of 3 hours to create a full “melt pool”. Extinguishing your candle before the melted wax has reached the edges will create a tunnel down the middle and could result in lots of leftover wax.
  2. Trim your wick each time before relighting. Trim burnt tip with scissors or wick trimmer. Trimming your wick regularly ensures the best, safest, and cleanest burn.
  3. Keep lit candles away from any draft or direct air flow. Avoiding drafts will increase the burn time, prevent uneven burning, decreased scent throw and accidental fire. If your wick flame is unusually high or flickering repeatedly extinguish your candle, let it cool, trim your wick and try again. It may have caught a draft!
  4. For your safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container.
  5. Always burn candle within sight and keep out of reach of children and pets
  6. Use your lid to put out your flame.
  7. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle your vessel!
