Make Your Candles Last Longer & Burn Cleaner
TRIM YOUR WICK
Before lighting your candle, always trim the wick to 1/4 inch to ensure a controlled, clean flame. This will prevent soot release and build-up in your candle and also helps your candle last longer!
BURN CANDLE EVENLY
Always burn your candle for at least 3 hours, and no more than 4 hours long. Unlike soy wax candles, it will take about 3 burns to get a full wax melt pool across the top of the candle - there will be some wax that hangs on the sides until then that will eventually melt after the 3rd or 4th burn. It's important to always burn for at least 3 hours long, and no longer than 4 hours, to ensure the wax on the sides will eventually get properly melted.
SAFETY FIRST
Do not burn a candle for longer than 4 hours at a time to reduce the risk of fire and to ensure the jar does not get too hot. Always keep a burning candle within sight and keep far away from flammable objects (including flammable sprays). Ensure burning candles are out-of-reach from both children and pets.
Finished burning your favorite candle?
There are easy ways to remove the leftover wax from candle jars and reuse your jar:
1. Fill a pot with boiling water and place the candle jar inside the pot for a few minutes for the wax to soften (the double-boiler method).
2. Once the wax has melted, carefully remove the jar from the water and pour out the remaining wax into the garbage. Do NOT pour the wax down any sink as this will clog your drains! Thoroughly wash the jar using warm soapy water.
3. Don’t forget to remove the remaining wick and the wick-holder. The boiling water will soften the adhesive enough to remove but if stuck, slip a pen underneath to pop it out.
*Do NOT microwave to melt the leftover wax as the wick holder that holds the wick in place is made out of metal.
