Candle Care

Candle Care

First burn matters

  • Let the wax melt all the way to the edges (about 2–3 hours) to prevent tunneling.

Trim your wick

  • Before every light, trim to ~¼" (6–7mm). A short wick = cleaner burn, less soot.

Burn time

  • 2–4 hours per session. Extinguish, let cool, then relight.

Keep it clear

  • No drafts, no things near the flame. Keep away from kids & pets.

Stop at the base

  • Discontinue use when ¼" (6mm) of wax remains.

Reuse the vessel

  • Hot water + soap to lift leftover wax. Give the jar a second life.

Safety

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

  • Always place on a heat-safe, level surface.

  • Avoid moving a lit or recently extinguished candle.

Candle Care

How do I keep my candle burning clean?
Trim the wick to ¼" before every burn and let the wax melt to the edges the first time you light it.

Why does my candle tunnel?
That’s usually from blowing it out too early on the first burn. Always give it 2–3 hours the first time.

What do I do with the jar when the candle’s done?
Clean it with hot water and soap and repurpose. Perfect for holding pens, brushes, or plants.
