To ensure you get the most out of your luxurious candles, we’ve put together some simple tips for proper candle care. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy a longer-lasting, more even burn while maintaining the beauty and integrity of your candle
- Trim the Wick
Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This will prevent the candle from flickering, smoking, or burning too quickly. A clean, trimmed wick ensures a smoother, more even burn
- Burn for 2-4 Hours at a Time
The first time you light your candle; let it burn for at least 2-4 hours until the wax melts all the way across the surface. This helps create an even burn pool and prevents tunneling, ensuring that your candle lasts longer and burns evenly throughout its life.
- Keep Away from Drafts
To avoid uneven burning, place your candle in a draft-free area. Keep it away from windows, fans, or air vents that can cause the flame to flicker or the wax to melt unevenly.
- Burn on a Heat-Resistant Surface
Always burn your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and ensure it is placed away from any flammable materials.
- Extinguish Safely
When you're ready to put out the flame, use a candle snuffer to avoid splashing hot wax. If you don't have a snuffer, gently blow the candle out, but be cautious of any wax splatter. Let the candle cool completely before handling.
- Store in a Cool, Dry Place
When not in use, store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its scent and prevent the wax from discoloring. Avoid placing your candle in a warm or humid environment.
- Repurpose Your Candle Vessel
Once your candle has burned down, don’t throw away the vessel. Many of our high-end, designer vessels are reusable and make for beautiful storage or décor items. Simply clean out any remaining wax and repurpose to suit your style
