Candle Burning Tips

Remove all packaging before burning.

In order to get the most burn time out of your candles, they should be burned one hour for each inch of their diameter. This allows the wax pool to cover the entire surface which will extend burning time and prevent a tunnel from forming down the middle of the candle jar. Maximum scent throw is achieved when melt pool reaches outer edge of jar and becomes approximately ¼ inch deep.

Place on a heat resistant, stable surface, away from flammable objects and out of the reach of children and pets. Hot candle jars can damage furniture.

Be sure to keep wick trimmed to about ¼ inch and centered to create an even burn. Keep wax pool free of debris. Do not over trim the wick or it will not burn hot enough to create a sufficient melt pool and may not stay lit.

Avoid drafts for an even burn and to prevent excess smoking.

Never leave burning candles unattended.

Always use caution when extinguishing candles. Never place face directly over candle opening. Using a candle snuffer to extinguish candles is the safest method. Allow your candle to cool before re-lighting or before replacing lid on jar.

Stop burning your candle when there is approximately 1/2 inch of wax remaining in the bottom of the jar.

Never burn candle in a container that is damaged.

Store in a cool, dry location.

Relax and Enjoy!
