Candle Care

To enjoy a clean, safe burn and the best scent throw, follow these simple tips


Before you light it

Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface

Keep it away from drafts, curtains, paper, and anything flammable

Leave enough space around the candle while burning


The first burn matters

On the first use, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the jar

This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn

Usually takes 2–3 hours depending on the candle size



Trim the wick

Trim the wick before every burn to about 1/2 cm

A shorter wick reduces smoke, soot, and an overly high flame


Burn time

Burn your candle for 2–4 hours at a time (max)

Let the wax fully cool and harden before relighting


Extinguishing & relighting

Extinguish gently by dipping the wick in the melted wax to prevent smoke

If the wick leans, straighten it while the wax is still soft, before it fully sets


If tunneling happens

Wrap the jar with foil, leaving an opening at the top, and burn for 30–60 minutes

The goal is to melt the surface evenly back to the edges


If you notice smoke or soot

Trim the wick a bit shorter and keep the candle away from airflow

A calm, steady flame is ideal


Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

Keep the lid on to help preserve the scent and keep dust out


When to stop using

Stop burning when about 1/2 cm of wax remains at the bottom


Safety reminder

Never leave a burning candle unattended

Keep away from children and pets

Do not move the candle while the wax is hot or liquid
