5 Simple Ways to Take Care of Your Candle

Proper candle care ensures a clean, long-lasting burn while maintaining the beauty and safety of your space. Follow these tips to get the most out of every candle:

1. Trim the WickAlways trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting. This prevents soot, uneven burning, and excessive flickering.

2. Let It Burn FullyAllow the candle to melt across the entire surface during the first burn to prevent tunneling and create an even wax pool.

3. Keep It CleanRemove any debris, matches, or wick trimmings from the wax before lighting to avoid smoke and poor performance.

4. Burn ResponsiblyNever burn a candle for more than 3–4 hours at a time. Let it cool completely before relighting.

5. Store ProperlyKeep your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their fragrance and color.

With these simple care tips, your candles will stay beautiful and burn better—every time.
