Candle Care Instructions

Caring for handmade soy wax candles is essential to ensure they burn evenly and last longer.

Follow these instructions to care for your candles at home:

Materials You'll Need:

𖤓 Handmade soy wax candles
𖤓 Candle snuffer or a long lighter
𖤓 Wick trimmer or scissors
𖤓 Heat-resistant surface or candle holder
𖤓 Aluminum foil (optional)
𖤓 Small brush or soft cloth (optional)

  •  First Burn Matters

     First Burn Matters

    When lighting a new soy wax candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the entire surface is melted. This helps prevent "tunneling" and ensures an even burn in future uses. This may take several hours, depending on the size of the candle.

  • Keep the Wick Trimmed

    Keep the Wick Trimmed

    Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) before each use. This helps to maintain a clean and even burn, prevents excessive smoking, and minimizes soot. Use a wick trimmer or scissors to trim the wick.

  •  Avoid Drafts

  • Optimal Burn Time

    Optimal Burn Time

    Limit each burning session to 3-4 hours. Excessive burning can cause the candle to overheat and may result in uneven burning.

  •  Extinguish Safely

     Extinguish Safely

    Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame instead of blowing it out. Blowing can create smoke and may cause the wick to move, potentially causing uneven burning.

  • Avoid Moving Hot Wax

  • Maintain a Clean Candle Surface

    Maintain a Clean Candle Surface

    To keep the candle looking clean, you can cover it with aluminum foil when not in use. This prevents dust and debris from settling on the wax.

  •  Repurpose or Recycle Containers

     Repurpose or Recycle Containers

    Reuse or recycle the container once the candle is finished. Soy wax is easy to clean out with warm, soapy water, and you can repurpose the container for other uses.
