FAQs
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CARE FOR MY CANDLE
Trim the Wick – Before each burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to prevent excess soot and ensure a clean, even burn.
First Burn Matters – Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the vessel on the first burn to prevent tunneling.
Burn Time – Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time to maintain the integrity of the wax and fragrance.
Safe Placement – Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, flammable objects, and out of reach of children and pets.
Extinguishing – Use a snuffer to extinguish the flame rather than blowing it out to reduce smoke and preserve the fragrance.
Repurposing – Once finished, clean out the vessel and repurpose it as a chic decor piece, storage container, or planter.
