Candle Care

To get the most out of your candle, a little TLC goes a long way. Follow these simple care tips to ensure a clean, even burn and extend the life of your candle.

The First Burn

When lighting for the first time, burn until wax melts across entire surface to the sides of vessel (this prevents tunneling, and creates an even burn for the duration of the candle’s ‘life’) This may take up to 2-4 hours.

Trimming the Wick

Trim the candle wick after each burn. This is very important to prevent the candles from smoking on the next burn or from burning the sides of the glass. We recommend trimming them to 1/4th to 1/8th of an inch each time.  Invest in a good pair of wick trimmers that will cut and remove the excess wick cleanly.

Watch the Flame

Extinguish a candle if it smokes, flickers, or the flame becomes too high. These signs indicate the candle is not burning properly and the flame isn't controlled. Let the candle cool, trim the wick, then check for drafts before re-lighting.

Maximize the Scent

To maximize scent throw, burn in desired space for 30 mins with the door closed. Open windows and doors will disperse scent.

Keep Vessel Clean

If soot ever forms on the inside of the vessel, extinguish candle, wait for it to cool, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Trim wick and relight.

When to Stop Burning

Stop using candle when there is approximately 1/2 inch of wax remaining. Burning candle too close to the bottom can lead to overheating of the vessel & potentially cracking.
