Why Proper Candle Care Matters
Taking care of your candles isn't just about getting the most burn time – it's about safety, performance, and preserving the beautiful fragrance you love. With proper candle care, you can extend your candle's life by up to 50% while ensuring a clean, even burn every time.
Essential Candle Care Tips
1. Trim Your Wick Before Every Use
Always trim your wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. This prevents:
- Excessive smoke and soot
- Uneven burning
- Overheating of the container
- Shortened candle life
2. Let Your Candle Create a Full Melt Pool
During your first burn, allow the wax to melt completely across the surface. This prevents tunneling and ensures even burning throughout your candle's life.
3. Don't Burn Too Long
Limit burning time to 3-4 hours at a time. This keeps your candle burning safely and prevents the wick from becoming too long.
4. Store Candles Properly
Keep your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This preserves the fragrance and prevents discoloration.
Signs It's Time to Replace Your Candle
Stop using your candle when there's only 1/2 inch of wax remaining. This ensures safe burning and prevents damage to surfaces.
