Candle Burning Tips

Follow the below tips to get the best burning time and results from your candles.....

For Best Burning Results - Burn Candle on a level heat resistant surface so wax will burn evenly, also keep out of drafts and breezes so they will not burn unevenly. Always Keep out of reach of Children and pets. Do not burn candle for more then 3-4 hours at a time.

Trimming the wick. After the candle is fully cooled down turn the candle upside down to trim to 1/4" this will keep the soot from falling into the candle.

Safety Tips

  • Never leave a candle burning unattended.
  • Keep your candles away from flammable materials.
  • Keep all candles out of the reach of children and pets.
  • Always burn candles in a proper holder or container.
  • Extinguish taper or pillar candles when they get within 2" of their holders.
  • Discontinue use of container candle if container is cracked.

Proper Usage Tips

  • Always trim wick to 1/4 inch and centre it before lighting candle
  • Recommended burning time is one hour per inch diameter of the candle
  • Keep candles away from drafts. Drafts will cause the candle to burn unevenly.  
  • If a wick becomes too short to light carve away enough wax to expose the fresh wick, then trim ¼" off the top of the candle and then burn the candle to reshape it.
  • Refrigerating your candles before using them will help them to burn slowly and evenly. Make sure that you wrap them in foil or plastic first to prevent moisture from getting into the wick.
  • Keep the wax pool free of foreign objects such as wick trimmings and matches.

Storage Tips

  • Always store candles in a cool, dark, and dry place.
  • Make sure to store your candles upright to prevent warping.
  • Limit your candles' exposure to direct sunlight, because it will fade them rapidly.

Cleaning Tips

  • You can clean your pillars and tapers with a piece of nylon or a soft cloth.
  • To remove soy wax from fabrics, scrape off the excess wax and run very hot water through the material.

Please remember to burn your Candles Safely!
