1. Trim the Wick Before Each Use
Before lighting your candle, always trim the wick to 0.5 cm (about ¼ inch). A properly trimmed wick:
✔ Prevents excessive smoke
✔ Ensures a steady flame
✔ Reduces soot buildup
Using wick trimmers or scissors, cut the wick before every burn to keep your candle looking and performing its best.
2. Allow a Full Melt Pool to Form
The first burn is crucial for your candle’s longevity. Allow the wax to melt across the surface before extinguishing it. This prevents tunneling, where wax remains unburned around the edges, reducing the candle’s efficiency.
For best results, burn your candle for at least 1–3 hours, depending on its size.
3. Keep Your Candle in the Right Environment
Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This helps maintain the quality of the wax and fragrance over time.
4. Burn Safely
✔ Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface.
✔ Keep it away from drafts, curtains, and flammable objects.
✔ Never leave a burning candle unattended.
