A beautiful candle deserves to be enjoyed fully—and with the right care, you can extend its life and get the most out of every burn.

Here’s how to do it:

Trim the Wick

Before each burn, trim your wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps prevent soot, keeps the flame steady, and ensures a cleaner burn.

Let the Wax Pool Evenly

The first time you light your candle is the most important. Let it burn long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface. This prevents tunneling and helps your candle burn evenly every time.

Avoid Drafts

Keep your candle away from fans, open windows, and air vents. Drafts can cause uneven burning and make your candle burn faster.

Don’t Overburn

Try not to burn your candle for more than 3–4 hours at a time. This keeps the wick stable and prevents overheating the container.

Store Them Properly

Keep your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve their color and scent.

Know When to Stop

When about 1/2 inch of wax remains, it’s time to stop burning your candle. This helps prevent overheating and keeps things safe.

Taking care of your candles isn’t complicated—but it makes a big difference. With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy a longer-lasting, cleaner, and more beautiful burn every time.
