How to Burn Your Candle Like a Pro

Getting the perfect glow isn't just about lighting a match. Follow these steps to ensure a clean, long-lasting burn:

  • The First Burn is Critical: Always let the wax melt across the entire surface to the edges of the jar the first time you light it. This prevents "tunneling."

  • Trim the Wick: Before every light, trim the wick to about 5mm. This prevents soot and keeps the flame under control.

  • Avoid Drafts: Keep your candle away from open windows or fans to prevent uneven burning and flickering.

  • Don't Overdo It: Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Pro Tip: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame instead of blowing it out to avoid smoke and wax splashes!

⚠️ Essential Safety Instructions

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

  • Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

  • Place candles on a heat-resistant surface away from flammable objects (curtains, books, etc.).

  • Extinguish the candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly.

  • Stop using the candle when only 1cm of wax remains to prevent the glass from overheating.
