Candle Care and Tips

To ensure a safe and long-lasting burn from your handcrafted candles, please follow these simple guidelines:

• Trim the Wick: Always trim your wick to 1/4 inch before every single burn to prevent smoking and soot buildup.

• The First Burn: Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the jar during the first burn (usually 2 to 3 hours). Any wax hangup on the side of the jars are completely normal and should catch up the more you burn your candle. 

• Burn Time: Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

• Safety First: Always burn candles within sight, away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable materials. Never move or touch a candle while it is burning.

• The Final Inch: Stop burning your candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.

Choose the Right Size: Keep the size of your space in mind. Our 11 ounce candles are double wicked to fill larger rooms faster, but rooms this size can require a bigger candle to properly fill the area with fragrance. Our 11 ounce candles are double wicked to help fill large spaces.

• Combat Nose Blindness: If you are having trouble smelling your candle, simply step out of the room for a few minutes and re-enter, or try placing it in a cozier, smaller space.

 

Our candles are poured in small batches to ensure the highest quality, rich fragrance distribution, and careful attention to detail. Because they are lovingly handmade, please remember that each candle may have its own unique character imperfections are simply a mark of true artisan craftsmanship.
