Candle Care Instructions

Before you burn your candle, to learn how to be safe and maximize the life of your candle.

LIGHTING + BURNING YOUR CANDLE

  • Hold the flame to the wick for at least 3-5 seconds, especially the first time you light it!

  • Each time you burn your candle, allow enough time for the wax to reach the sides of the vessel to maximize the burn time (2-3 hours). Never burn it for shorter than this! This will make your candle burn down evenly, and give it a long life.

  • Only burn your candle for 2-4 hours at a time.

  • Make sure your wick is trimmed to 1/8" of an inch above the wax between each burn. You can use fingernail clippers, invest in a wick clipper, or use your fingers and a piece of tissue paper. Wait until the candle is cooled to do this.

IMPORTANT: CANDLE SAFETY

  • Keep burning candles away from children or pets.

  • Keep debris out of the wax.

  • Always store your candles in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight or wind drifts.

  • Do not walk around with a lit candle. Only light a candle when it’s on a solid surface.

  • Always extinguish your candle before falling asleep.

  • Do not use candles for emergency situations. If you need a light source, use a lantern.

  • Burn your candle on a safe surface.

  • Do not extinguish your candle with water. Use either a candle snuffer or blow it out gently.
