Candle Care
Our stunning creations are based in 100% soy wax candles in hand poured into unique, vintage, and one-of-a-kind settings. To ensure that you get the most out of your candles, we've put together some essential tips on proper care and handling.
-
Initial Burn: For the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface, reaching the edges. This may take 1-4 hours, depending on the size of your candle. Creating a full melt pool on the first burn prevents tunnelling and helps your candle last longer.
-
Trim the Wick: Before each lighting, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch in length. This will help prevent soot and extend the life of your candle. A pair of wick trimmers or small scissors works perfectly for this task.
-
Burn Time: For optimal performance, burn your soy candle for no more than 4 hours at a time. This ensures that the wax doesn't overheat, preserving the fragrance and integrity of your candle.
-
Extinguish Safely: Always use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the wax pool to extinguish your candle. This prevents wax from splattering and maintains an even wax pool for your next burn.
-
Keep it Clean: Ensure that your candle is free of debris, such as wick trimmings or matches, to maintain a clean burn and prevent any hazards.
-
Store Properly: When not in use, store your soy candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its fragrance and appearance.
By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the warmth, ambience, and delightful fragrances of your candle while maintaining its artful presentation. Thank you for choosing our handcrafted candles, and may they fill your space with serenity and joy.
