Tips for Caring for Your Candles

Maximizing Candle Life and Enjoyment
Proper candle care ensures longer burn times, better scent diffusion, and a more beautiful experience. While hand-poured candles are crafted with precision, a little attention goes a long way in preserving their quality and aesthetic appeal.

Wick Maintenance

  • Trim wicks to ¼ inch before each burn to prevent soot and uneven flames.
  • Ensure wicks are centered to avoid tunneling and wasted wax.
  • Remove any debris from the wax surface to maintain clean burning.

Optimal Burning Practices

  • Allow candles to burn long enough for the surface wax to melt fully.
  • Avoid drafts or vents that create flickering and uneven melting.
  • Burn smaller candles for shorter periods and larger ones for extended ambiance.

Storage Tips

  • Store candles in cool, dry places to prevent melting or discoloration.
  • Keep them away from direct sunlight to preserve fragrance and color.
  • Cover or wrap candles when not in use to avoid dust accumulation.

Enhancing the Experience

  • Combine candles with calming rituals like reading, meditation, or soft music.
  • Experiment with layering scents by using multiple candles to create a unique aroma profile.
  • Use decorative holders to complement your interior while enhancing safety.
