Candle Care Guide

Candle Care Guide

Wood wicks are a bit different than standard cotton wicks and they require a little more care to ensure an optimal burning experience. 

Before each burn trim your wick to approximately 1/4- 1/8 inch. You can do this with a wick trimmer or by pinching off part of the burned wick. When you receive your candle, it will already be trimmed to the correct height and is ready for burning. 

When burning, allow for the wax to melt completely to the edge of the container. This should take about 45 minutes. This helps make sure that the wax melts evenly on the following burns so that all your wax can be used. It also helps with scent release allowing you to fully enjoy your candle. While our candles are highly enjoyable, only burn for around 4 hours at a time allowing your candle to cool between each burn. 

For safety, always burn your candle on a flat sturdy surface away from anything that could catch fire, and always burn within eyesight.
