How to Care for Your Candles

To get the most out of your candles and ensure a safe, clean burn, proper care is essential. And remember: safety always comes first. A well-loved candle is a safely burned candle!

Tips for Candle Care:

Burn Evenly: On the first use, allow the candle to burn until the entire surface melts evenly to prevent tunneling.

Wick Maintenance: Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use. This helps reduce smoke, soot, and uneven burning.

Burn Time: Avoid burning your candle for longer than 3–4 hours at a time. This keeps the wax from overheating and preserves the candle’s fragrance.

Safety First:

    • Always keep your candle away from drafts, fans, and vents to prevent uneven burns or excessive smoke.
    • Place candles on a heat-resistant surface and keep them out of reach of pets and children.
    • Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish it before leaving the room or going to sleep.

Extinguishing Properly: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame safely, avoiding wax splatter. Refrain from blowing out the candle directly.

Storing Your Candle: When not in use, store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or melting.

Reuse and Recycle: Once your candle is fully burned, clean out the jar and reuse it as a storage container, vase, or decorative piece.

Maximizing Your Candle’s Scent Throw: 

Room Size & Ventilation: A closed room retains scent better than an open space.
Coverage: A 9 cm diameter candle can comfortably scent a medium-sized room (15-25 square meters or approximately 160-270 square feet). In larger spaces, the scent may be more subtle.

For a stronger scent throw: Use multiple candles in larger rooms.
Place the candle in an area with gentle airflow to help disperse the scent without burning it off too quickly.

Candles aren’t just décor—they’re the soul of the room! Treat them with love, and they’ll light up your life (literally). But always remember: safety comes first, so you can enjoy their glow worry-free.
