Best Practices

  • Always burn long enough to achieve a full melt pool. This is most critical during the first burn, to prevent tunneling. A very thin hang-up on the sides is fine and should resolve as the candle burns down.
  • Burn no longer than 4 hours. Too much liquid wax can make a candle dangerous, and will allow the wick to lean. 
  • Make sure that the wick is centered, and always correct the wick if it begins to stray to one side. Candles that are allowed to cool and harden with a very off-center wick should not be burned again.
  • Always keep wick trimmed to between 1/8" and 1/4” for a good burn. If the flame gets too high, extinguish your candle, trim the wick, and relight.
  • Keep away from drafts, pets and children.
  • Do not ever light a candle after using it on a candle warmer.
  • Stop use after wax level reaches 1/2” from bottom of container.
  • Always burn on a level, fire-resistant surface away from curtains, bedding, books, etc.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended in another room. Keep a close eye on your candle, and intervene if your candle is not performing well.
