Candle Care 101

read on to learn some quick tips on how to get the most out of your candle!

Let's start with the basics

Step 1

allow the wax to fully melt to the edge of the can, both on the first burn and consecutive ones! (this may take a few hours)

Step 2

on every new burn, trim cotton wick to 1/4". the shorter height allows the wax to capillary up the wick to feed the flame properly.

Step 3

do not burn the candle for longer than 4 hours at a time. it's time for a new candle when there is 1" wax remaining!

Do's and Don'ts

~ always burn your candle within sight. do not burn the candle for longer than 4 hours at a time.

~ keep burning candles away from flammable materials, children and pets.

~ do not light on or near any objects that can catch fire, and do not place on or near other heat sources.

~ burn candle on heat resistant surfaces only.

How to fix tunneling

if your candle starts to tunnel (major wax hang up on side of jar), your wick can have troubles staying lit. if it hasn't gone too far - oftentimes it can be fixed.

how? use a butter knife to carefully take out the tunnelling wax to level out the surface.

ps: the container will be warm to touch when candle is lit
