Light Up Your Life!
It comes as a surprise to many people that there is a right way and a wrong way to burn a candle. The wrong way can lead to too large of a flame that can cause sooting and a shorter burn time. It can also cause the wick to lean not allowing the candle to burn evenly or curl over drowning in the wax. We suggest a few simple steps to keep your candles burning beautifully and safely.Â
For The Love of Your Candle
- The first time you burn your candle burn candles for 3-4 hours.Â
- Before each burn trim the wick to 1/4″ with a wick trimmer. Be careful not to trim it less than 1/4″ or the candle may die out too soon.
Clean out any debris that may have fallen in the wax or soot that’s accumulated on the edges of the container.
Do not burn your candle longer than 4 hours.
Burn your candle on a stable surface away from drafts or anything flammable.
Keep your candle away from children and pets.
After burning extinguish it with a candle snuffer or gently blow it out.
Store candles in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the wax and color.
