Soy Candle Care

Candle Care

Upon initial lighting of your candle make sure you have 2-3 hours (for 10 oz candle or greater) available for it to burn. Place your candle on a flat, even, non-flammable surface, away from children, drafts, furniture, ect.

Allow your candle to create a “melt pool” (when wax becomes liquefied) to become about 1/4 inch in depth or more. This is also where the strongest scent throw is released. If you cannot smell the aroma (i.e. 5 oz candle), your candle may be too small for the area.

When relighting your candle, use a wick trimmer to trim your wick 1/4 inch before each usage. If you notice build-up on the top of the wick, known as a mushrooming wick, this occurs when it is affected by draft, an untrimmed wick, or very long burn time.

To put your flame out, smother your candle with lid (this allows the fragrance to linger in area) or use a candle snuffer to end usage.
