Candle Care

Follow these instructions so that your candle burns beautifully, safely, and lasts as long as possible:

1. The first burn is everything! Let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the jar on the first light (usually 2-4hrs depending on jar size). This sets the "memory" and prevents tunneling for the life of the candle.
2. Trim the wick every time! Before each burn, trim the wick to 1/4 inch. A long or crooked wick causes soot, smoking, and mushrooming. Use a wick trimmer, nail clippers, or just pinch off the charred bit once it's cool.
3. Burn Smart! Never burn longer than 4 hours at a time (this keeps the jar from getting too hot and preserves scent throw). Keep away from drafts, vents, windows, etc. Always burn on a heat-safe, stable surface and within sight.
4. Keep it clean! If black soot appears on the jar, wipe the inside rim with a dry paper towel while the wax is cool. A clean jar = a prettier glow.
5. STOP BURNING when about 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom. Burning lower can overheat the jar and isn't safe.
6. Repurpose the jar! Once it's done and cooled down, pop the jar in the freezer for a couple hours-the leftover wax will pop right out. Wash with warm soapy water, and the vessel is ready for a new life as a brush holder, succulent pot, or whatever makes you smile :)
7. WOOD WICKS (if yours has one). Trim to 1/8-3/16in. and remove the charred wood before relighting. They crackle beautifully but need that tiny trim for a steady flame.

Light, breathe deeply, and let the glow fill your space. These candles were hand-poured with so much care - I hope they bring you warmth and calm every time you strike the match. 

If you ever have questions, just send me a message. Happy burning!
