Candle Care — Tips for a Magical Burn Every Time
Your Candle Ritual Simplified
1. Trim the Wooden Wick Before Every Burn
For steady, clean combustion, keep the wick trimmed between 1/8″–1/4″ (about 3–6 mm). Remove any charred wood before relighting to avoid heavy smoke and uneven burning.
2. Embrace the "First Melt"
Let your candle burn long enough for the wax to fully melt across the surface on its first lighting—typically 2–4 hours, or 1 hour per inch of candle width. This forms a “memory pool” and prevents tunneling in future burns
3. Burn Time Limits
Stick to 2–4 hours per use. Longer burns can cause soot buildup, excessive flame height, or overheating—trim the wick afterward.
4. Protect Your Flame
Keep your candle away from drafts, air vents, fans, and moving air. This ensures a steady flame and reduces air pollution.
5. Extinguish with Care
Use a candle snuffer for the cleanest extinguish—this minimizes smoke and preserves wax integrity. Avoid blowing the flame out directly.
6. Choose a Safe Burn Spot
Always place candles on flat, heat-resistant surfaces away from flammables, children, and pets. Extinguish when about ½ inch (≈ 6 mm) of wax remains.
7. Enjoy Longer & Cleaner Burns with Soy Wax
Our candles are crafted with natural soy wax, known for cleaner combustion, longer burn time, and eco-conscious performance—great for creating ambient, atmospheric magic.
Quick Reference Table
| Step | What to Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trim wick & remove char before lighting | Ensures even burn and minimizes smoke |
| 2 | Burn until wax reaches entire edge | Expands scent throw and prevents tunneling |
| 3 | Limit burns to 2–4 hours | Protects flame, container, and fragrance |
| 4 | Avoid drafts | Keeps flame steady and safe |
| 5 | Use a snuffer to extinguish | Reduces soot and prolongs candle life |
| 6 | Place on safe surface, stop at ½" left | Ensures safety and clean removal |
| 7 | Benefit from clean-burning soy wax | Better air quality and a greener burn |
✨ Pro Tip: If tunneling occurs after the first burn, gently wrap foil around the candle rim with an opening for the wick. That heat retention will help reset your candle’s memory.
