Candle Care & Tips

First burn is the most important burn.  Do not light your brand new candle for 30 minutes and then turn it off. Big mistake! You're going to get that annoying tunnel, where the wax stays on the side of the glass or tin. For your first burn, candles should burn for at least one hour per inch of container diameter. 

Don't forget to trim your wicks! you can easily do so with our signature Wick Trimmer.

Always trim your wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting, and never burn for more than 4 hours, otherwise carbon will start to accumulate.  If not, you're probably going to have a big black ring around the sides of the candles, and when you light them you're going to get black smoke.
 

Keep all candles out of reach of pets and children .

Remove all flammable materials from vicinity of flame.

Do not burn candles in a draft, near a fan or any air current.

A candle container can become very hot when in use. Always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface non-flammable surface.

It's definitely recommended to use a snuffer to extinguish the flame to prevent wax from spattering.

Do not burn a  candle all the way down. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/4” of wax remains in the container.

Soy & plant based candles clean up easily with just soap and water. If you happen to spill any melted wax, simply clean up with warm, soapy water. Once the candle has completely burned through, we encourage you to recycle or repurpose the container.
