How to Use a Candle: A Guide to Safety, Ambience & Longevity

To enjoy your soy candle safely and for the longest time possible, please follow these guidelines:
First burn matters
Allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface on the first burn. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn in the future.
Trim the wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to about 5 mm (¼ inch). This helps avoid soot, smoke, and an overly large flame.
Burn time
Do not burn your candle for more than 3–4 hours at a time. This prevents overheating and extends the candle’s life.
Safe placement
Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, curtains, pets, and children.
Never leave unattended
Extinguish your candle before leaving the room or going to sleep.
Storage
Keep your candle away from direct sunlight and high temperatures to preserve its scent and quality.
Stop burning
Discontinue use when about 1 cm (½ inch) of wax remains at the bottom to avoid overheating the container.
Enjoy your candle and let it fill your space with warmth and light!
