Take care of your candle
Erikka Gray
I get a lot of questions around candle care. Taking care of your candle is important to ensure that it burns evenly and safely. Here are some tips for taking care of your candle:
Trim the wick: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to prevent smoking and to promote an even burn.
Keep it clean: Resit the urge to put ashes or other debris inside of your candle. Make sure the wax pool is free of debris like wick trimmings, matches, or any other material that might catch fire. This allows the wicks and wax to burn cleaner.
Burn it properly: Always burn your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, and out of reach of pets and children. Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
Store it properly: Store your candle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Extinguish it safely: Always use a snuffer or lid to extinguish your candle. This will help prevent hot wax from splattering and reduce the risk of fire.
Never leave your candle unattended
