Trimming the wick to 1/4 inch before every burn helps your candle burn cleaner, prevents soot, and keeps the flame at a safe size.
Burn your candle for 2–4 hours at a time. This prevents overheating and helps the wax melt evenly.
Tunneling happens when only the center melts, leaving hard wax around the edges. To prevent it, let your candle burn until the wax melts all the way to the edges on the first burn.
Soot usually comes from a wick that’s too long, drafts, or debris in the wax. Keep the wick trimmed and burn your candle away from fans or vents.
Blowing it out can cause smoke. Instead, use a snuffer or wick dipper for a clean, smoke-free extinguish.
No. Stop burning when about 1/2 inch of wax remains to prevent jar overheating or cracking.
Debris—like wick trimmings, matches, or dust—can cause popping, uneven flames, and soot. Always keep the wax clear.
Yes. Heat and sunlight can cause discoloration, sweating, or melting. Store your candle in a cool, dry place with the lid on.
After extinguishing and while the wax is still warm, gently reposition the wick to the center using a wick tool or tweezers.
Keep the wick trimmed, burn away from drafts, rotate the candle occasionally, and let the wax pool form edge to edge during each burn.
