Care for the Product

We love how hand poured candles fill a room with peaceful radiance and scent, especially when they burn correctly (nobody likes them to smoke or go out!). Sometimes all it takes is a little maintenance to ensure your burn beautifully for a long time.

Step-By-Step Candle Care Tips:

1. Each time you light your candle, be sure to let the wax in your candle melt completely to the edges of the container (about 1 hour) before blowing it out. This will help prevent “tunneling" where only the wax in the center of the candle melts down. 
2. For the best candle care, remember to avoid burning any candle for more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. This is a safety precaution and will make it so that your candle can be used again on multiple occasions. 
3. Trimming the wick of your candle before you relight it is essential to keeping your candles clean and burning nicely. Always check that the wick is centered in the melted wax and regularly trim to about ¼” tall. One way to do this is by using a wick trimmer which is angled to make it easy. Using a pair of scissors can also do the job.
4. If you don't like the smoke of an extinguished wick, try using a wick snuffer or dipper. A snuffer is placed over the flame, whereas a wick dipper is a bent tool that makes it easy to dip a lit wick into the wax pool to extinguish the flame then pull it back up for the next lighting. 
5. To keep dust out of your candle when it is cooled and not in use, remember to cover yours a few hours later with a paper topper, lid or cotton bag that it may have come with.
