Candle Care

How to Care for Your Cotton Wick Candle

Follow these simple steps to ensure your candle burns beautifully and lasts longer:

Step 1: Trim the Wick

  • Before every burn, trim the wick to ¼ inch.

  • This helps prevent soot, ensures a steady flame, and avoids excess smoke.

Step 2: Burn It Right the First Time

  • Allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn.

  • This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn in the future.

Step 3: Avoid Drafts

  • Place your candle in a stable, draft-free environment.

  • Drafts can cause uneven burning or excessive flickering.

Step 4: Burn Safely

  • Always burn your candle on a heat-resistant surface.

  • Never leave a lit candle unattended or near flammable objects.

Step 5: Extinguish with Care

  • Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid splashing hot wax.

  • Do not use the lid to extinguish your candle.

Step 6: Clean the Wax

  • After extinguishing, check for debris like wick trimmings or matches.

  • Removing debris ensures a clean and even burn next time.

Step 7: Reuse the Jar

  • Once your candle is finished, clean out the remaining wax and repurpose the container. It’s great for storing small items or as a decorative piece!

By following these steps, you’ll get the best experience from your candle while keeping it safe and long-lasting. 🕯✨
