Candle Care

Caring for your candle is essential for safety and to ensure the best performance. Here are some helpful tips on how to care for your candle:

 Candle Care Tips

1. Trim the Wick:
   - Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps to prevent excessive flickering and soot buildup.

2. Burn Time:
   - Allow the candle to burn for 2-4 hours during each use. This ensures that the wax melts evenly and prevents tunneling.

3. Safety First:
   - Always burn candles within sight and away from anything flammable.
   - Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
   - Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface to avoid accidents.

4. Extinguish Properly:
   - Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame to avoid splattering hot wax. Never use water to extinguish a candle.

5. Storage:
   - Store candles in a cool, dry place to maintain their fragrance and prevent melting.

6. Reuse and Recycle:
   - Consider repurposing the container for storage or decor once your candle has burned down.

 Troubleshooting Common Issues

Uneven Burn:
  - If your candle is burning unevenly, allow it to burn long enough for the melted wax to reach the edges of the container.
Soot and Smoke:
  - Make sure the wick is trimmed and avoid drafts that can cause the flame to flicker.
Tunneling:
  - Prevent tunneling by ensuring the initial burn is long enough to melt the wax pool evenly across the top.

These tips will help you get the most out of your candles while maintaining safety and longevity. Enjoy your beautifully scented space! 🕯️
