Candle Care Tips
Never burn a candle and leave it unattended. Keep away from pets and children.
Ensure your candle is burned on a temperature-safe surface and away from other objects.
Do not burn your candle near a tub or sink, as water can act as an accelerant if it comes into contact with the wax and melt pool. This can result in a situation similar to a grease fire as the wax becomes too hot with the addition of water and can spread or crack the vessel.
The first burn is the most important; ensure you let the candle burn all the way to the edge of the vessel. This keeps a layer that continuously burns evenly and does not result in tunneling of the candle and wasted wax.
Keep your wicks trimmed to a 1/4” when lighting; this will minimize soot and burned wick particles entering your melt pool.
Extinguish your candle with a snuffer – we do not recommend blowing it out as it can result in melted wax splatter and burned wick particles entering your melt pool.
Avoid burning near windows or doors as drafts can result in uneven burning. Most rooms will still have air drafts, and it’s important to be mindful of any direction of the flame(s) that can burn the candle unevenly. Rotate the candle accordingly as needed to ensure an even burn and melt pool within the vessel.
