Candle Burning Instructions

Candles are magical and can enhance any room and mood. Like most good things, they benefit from some care. These tips will help you safely enjoy and get the most out of your candles.

Always follow the safety warning label on the bottom of your candle. 

The first time you use your candle:

  • No need to trim the wick, you can light it as is  

  • Burn it for at least 3 hours or until it has a full melt pool that goes to the edge of the tin. This will help the life of your candle and avoid tunneling 

  • When your candle is lit, avoid touching or moving it and keep it away from drafts, flammable materials, pets and children

Every time after that:

  • Trim your wick to 1/4 of an inch using a wick trimmer or nail clippers before lighting - this is very important

  • Burn until you have a full melt pool (and no more than 4 hours at a time)

Always remember: 

  • It is normal for the flame to dip in and out on different burns, as long as it does not fully go out. Room temperature, location, drafts, and other elements can impact how your candle burns so keep these tips in mind 

  • When your candle is lit, avoid touching or moving it and keep it away from drafts, flammable materials, pets and children

  • Keep your candle free from any debris, such as wick trimmings

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended 

  • Always leave at least 4 inches between burning candles 

  • Do not burn candles on or near any flammable materials

  • Candle jar will be hot while lit, please do not touch it or move it while lit 

Candle almost done?

  • When the candle has 5mm of wax remains, it's considered done (do not burn it all the way down to the bottom as that could cause the tin to get too hot and to crack or potentially burn your surface)  

  • If you live local or can give the tins back to me, I will give you 10% off your next purchase!

  • Time to order a new candle
