CANDLE CARE

SCENTED/CONTAINER CANDLES:

To ensure the longevity and maximize the performance of your soy candle, follow these care instructions:

  1. Trim the wick: Before lighting your soy candle, trim the wick to about 0,5 cm. Long wicks can cause the flame to become too large and can lead to uneven burning, excessive smoke, and sooting.

  2. First burn: Allow your candle to burn for at least one hour or until the entire top layer of wax is melted. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the life of your candle.

  3. Burn time: Do not burn your soy candle for more than 3 hours at a time. Exceeding this duration can cause excessive heat and reduce the overall lifespan of the candle.

  4. Avoid drafts: Place your candle away from drafts to prevent uneven burning and to avoid flickering or smoking of the flame.

  5. Burn on a heat-resistant surface: Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to prevent accidental spills or damage to your furniture.

  6. Extinguish properly: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish your soy candle. This helps to prevent the release of smoke and ensures no hot wax is splattered.

  7. Store properly: To maintain the scent and quality of your soy candle, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
