Candle Care 101

---

The first time you light a new candle be sure to allow the wax to melt across the entire surface.  This takes around 3-5 hours and will ensure that the candle burns evenly throughout its life.

~ Burn for only 4-5 hours at a time

~ Extinguish

~ Let wax solidify, 3-4 hours

~ Trim wick

~ Re-light

Instead of blowing out your candle, it is best to use a snuffer or to dip the wick into the melted wax. This will prevent smoking and from the hot wax splattering.

Everytime you light your candle, trim the wick to approximately 1/4". This will contain the flame size, avoid soot and increase burn time. 

Keep away from drafts.  Close doors and windows to maximize concentration. Use proper size candle equivalent to room size.
