To get the most out of your candles, proper care is essential. By following a few simple steps, you can extend the life of your candles and ensure a safe, even burn every time:
1. Trim the Wick
Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This prevents excessive smoke and soot, helping your candle burn cleaner and more evenly.
2. Let the Wax Pool
Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface of the candle before extinguishing it. This prevents tunneling, where the candle burns down the center, leaving unburned wax around the edges.
3. Burn for 3-4 Hours at a Time
To ensure an even burn, avoid burning your candle for more than 3-4 hours at a time. Overburning can cause the wick to mushroom and lead to an uneven flame.
4. Keep Candles Away from Drafts
Burn your candles in a draft-free area to prevent uneven burning and dripping. Drafts can cause the flame to flicker, which leads to uneven wax melting.
5. Store Properly
When not in use, store your candles in a cool, dark place. This helps preserve the scent and prevents the wax from becoming discolored or misshapen.
