candle care & Safety

Candles are a beautiful and natural way to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in any room. However, to get the best life out of your candles, it's important to follow proper candle care practices.

First and foremost, it's important to place your candle on a stable and heat-resistant surface, away from flammable objects such as curtains, bookshelves, and coffee table décor. This will ensure that your candle burns safely and without incident.

Before lighting your candle, make sure that the wick is trimmed to about 1/4 inch. This will help to prevent the candle from smoking or producing soot, and will also ensure that the candle burns evenly and correctly. This step should be done before every burn, as it's essential for a clean and efficient burn.

When lighting your candle, ensure that you never leave it unattended. If you're leaving the room or going to bed, always extinguish the candle before doing so. Additionally, it's important to never burn a candle for more than 3-4 hours at a time. This will prevent the wick from becoming too large, or "mushrooming," which can lead to a black smoke and a decrease in the candle's overall burn time.

With these simple candle care tips, you'll be able to enjoy the beautiful scents and ambiance of your candles for longer periods of time. Remember to always practice safe candle burning habits and to enjoy the relaxing and soothing experience of candlelight.
