Candle Care

Following Candle Care helps to ensure product quality + longevity. We highly recommend following each of the following steps:

• Trim your candle's wick to 1/4" before each lighting or once your candle has cooled.
  
  
• Never attempt to trim a burning candle.
  
  
• Discard the snipped portion in the trash; never leave wick trimmings in your candle jar.
  
  
• The wick should always remain centered and away from the sides of the vessel.
  
  
• Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar during each burn to prevent tunneling.
  
  
• Once the candle's gone, we hope you'll re-use it. Clean it out and you've got a new planter or pencil holder – or whatever you want!
  
  

 

Safety first - because candles burn and contain a small flame, so we encourage following these common sense rules of thumb:

• Never leave a candle burning unattended, near a draft, or in reach of children or pets.
  
  
• Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
  
  
• Do not allow your wick to curl over, as this can create a larger than normal flame.
  
  
• Stop burning your candle when only 1/4" of wax remains.
  
  
• Do not pick up a burning candle or immediately after it's been blown out.
  
  
• Protect the surface underneath the candle no matter the material.

Directions:

• Always trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting (we suggest using a wick trimmer). The first time you light your candle, let it burn for 3-4 hours to allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the container to prevent your candle from tunnelling.

 

Candle Safety:

• Follow the 2 foot rule - don't place a burning candle near clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable. Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface that is sturdy and large enough to catch any melted wax. Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans and any air currents. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep or if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container. A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/4 inch of wax remains in the container.
