Easy Candle Care Tips

  • Before lighting your candle, ALWAYS trim the wick to 1/4″ to insure an even burn and reduced “mushrooming ” of the wick.
  • Place candle on a non ammable, heat safe surface and keep it free from drafts.
  • Keep your candle away from children and pets.
  • After lighting, allow your candle to burn for at least 3-4 hrs to create an even melt pool, (this means the top of the candle will liquefy to all edges of the glass.) this ensures the best scent throw and extends the life of your candle (even burning).
  • Allow candle to fully cool before moving, at least 1 hr. Once cooled, cover candle with lid and store in a cool dry place.
  • If you accidentally spill the soy wax, immediately get a rag and hot soapy water to clean the area.
