1. Trim the Wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to about 5mm (1/4 inch).
This prevents black soot, uneven burning, and large flames.
2. Burn Until the Wax Pool Reaches the Edge
For the first burn, let the candle melt across the entire surface.
This can take 1–2 hours depending on the size.
Prevents “tunneling,” where wax only melts around the wick.
3. Do Not Burn for More Than 4 Hours at a Time
Extending burn time can lead to wick mushrooming and excessive heat.
Let the candle cool for at least 2 hours before relighting.
4. Keep the Candle Away from Drafts
Drafts can cause uneven burning, smoking, or flickering.
Burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from open windows, fans, or air vents.
5. Keep the Wax Pool Clean
Remove wick trimmings, matches, or debris from the wax pool to avoid fire hazards.
6. Store Properly
Keep candles in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
Sunlight can fade the fragrance and color over time.
7. Use a Candle Snuffer to Extinguish
Blowing out candles can cause wax splatter or wick misalignment.
A snuffer gently extinguishes without smoke or mess.
8. Stop Use When 1cm of Wax Remains
Prevents the container from overheating or breaking.
9. Never Leave a Burning Candle Unattended
Always extinguish before leaving the room or going to sleep.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
