Proper candle care ensures a safe and enjoyable experience. Here are some essential tips to help you maintain your candles:
Trim the Wick: When burning Jars or Pillars, trim the wick to approximately 0.5 cm to prevent uneven burning and excessive soot.
Choose the Right Surface: Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials and drafts.
Use Appropriate Holders: For freestanding candles like votives and pillars, always use suitable holders to contain melted wax and prevent spills.
Initial Burn: Allow the candle to burn until the melted wax reaches the edge of the container. This helps prevent tunneling and promotes an even burn.
Monitor Burn Time: Avoid burning candles for more than four hours at a time to prevent overheating.
Avoid Drafts: Keep candles away from open windows, fans, or air vents, as drafts can cause uneven burning and flickering.
Supervise: Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Use a Snuffer: To minimize smoke and prevent hot wax splatters, extinguish the flame with a candle snuffer.
Avoid Blowing Out: Blowing out candles can cause wax to spill.
Clean the Surface: Once cooled, regularly wipe the candle's surface with a dry cloth to remove dust and prevent impurities from affecting the burn quality.
Storage: Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their color and fragrance.
By following these guidelines, you can enhance the longevity and performance of your candles, ensuring a safe and pleasant ambiance in your home.
