Candle Care
How to get more mileage out of your favorite candles.
*** BURN CANDLE WITHIN SIGHT. NEVER LEAVE CANDLE UNATTENDED OR NEAR FLAMMABLE OBJECTS OR MOVING AIR. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS ***
~Trim Wick~
Always trim your wick to 1/4in prior to each lighting to avoid carbon buildup. Wick trimmers or a pair of scissors work great. Upon receiving your candle for the first time, I will have already trimmed it for you, so it will be all ready for your first lighting.
~Prevent Tunneling~
When lighting your candle for the first time, allow the candle to burn until you have reached a full melt pool around all edges of the jar. This will help prevent tunneling and will extend the life of your candle.
~Burn Time~
DO NOT burn your candle for more than 3-4 hours at a time for the cleanest burn. Allow enough time for the candle to solidify before lighting again.
~Disposing, Repurpose, Recycle~
Discontinue use when you reach the last 1/2in of wax at the bottom of your vessel. To repurpose our vessels, just place candle jar in the freezer for about an hour. Remove from freezer and you will be able to easily scoop out the wax. Clean out and use for anything you like! Then, head on over to Enlightened Candles by Brit to purchase more!!
