Candle Care Guide

  • Printable Candle Care Guide
  • When lighting your wood wick, tilt the candle slightly and allow the flame to travel across the length of the wick.
  • Our hardwood candle trivet is a great way to protect surfaces. Always burn candle on a heat-resistant surface, within sight. Don't touch candle while hot.
  • The first burn is really important. Allow the wax to melt completely to the edge of the vessel before extinguishing. This usually takes about three hours in our 8 oz tins and 4 hours in our Luxury Glass candles.
  • Wax has memory. If the melt pool doesn’t reach the edges on the first burn, the candle may tunnel.
  • While establishing a full melt pool is important, burns longer than three hours may cause the vessel and wax to overheat, shortening the overall life of your candle.
  • Your candle wick has been initially trimmed to its ideal height. Wood wicks perform best when kept short, about 1/8 inch.
  • We recommend using wick trimmers. When trimming, remove any charred wood or loose bits before relighting.
  • Keep away from drafts, things that can catch fire, children and pets. 
  • Stop burning candle when 1/2" of wax remains.
  • Wood wicks are a natural material - no two are exactly the same. This may cause variations in burn-time and how they burn.
