Why Your Candle Isn’t Burning Right (And How to Fix It)

🔥 We’ve all been there... your beautiful candle starts to tunnel, the wick is drowning, and suddenly that dreamy burn isn’t so dreamy anymore.

Good news? Most candle issues are totally fixable... and usually preventable.

Here’s how to get the most out of every Love Square One candle:


✂️ Tip 1: Trim Your Wick , Yes- Every Time

Before each burn, trim your wood wick to 1/8". Not trimming can lead to:

  • Flickering

  • Soot buildup

  • Poor scent throw

Use our gold wick trimmers for an easy, perfect cut every time.

🕯️ Tip 2: Burn Long Enough the First Time

Let the wax melt edge to edge on your first burn — this can take 2–3 hours.
This prevents “tunneling,” where the candle burns straight down and leaves wasted wax on the sides.


🧼 Tip 3: Place It on a Candle Coaster

Protect your surfaces from heat and wax residue.
Our chic ceramic candle coasters do double duty — functional and beautiful.

🔄 Tip 4: Avoid Drafts

Burn your candle in a spot that’s free from fans, open windows, or vents.
This helps it burn evenly and last longer.


✨ Final Thought

A little care goes a long way.
With the right tools and habits, you’ll enjoy a better flame, stronger scent, and longer life for every candle you bring home.
