Care information
Care information
For Cotton Wick Candles:
1. Trim the Wick Before Each Use
- Why: A trimmed wick ensures a cleaner, steadier flame and prevents soot.
- How: Cut the wick to ¼ inch (6-7 mm) before lighting.
2. Burn Long Enough to Prevent Tunneling
- Why: Beeswax has a memory. If you extinguish the candle too soon, it may tunnel.
- How: Let the candle burn until the melt pool reaches the edge of the container (usually 1 hour per inch of diameter).
3. Avoid Drafts
- Why: Drafts can cause uneven burning and flickering.
- How: Keep candles away from windows, fans, and air vents.
4. Extinguish Carefully
- Why: Blowing out candles can cause wax splatter or smoking.
- How: Use a snuffer or dip the wick into the melted wax, then straighten it for easier relighting.
5. Remove Bloom If Desired
- Why: Beeswax naturally forms a white "bloom" over time — it’s not mold! It's a sign of a pure beeswax candle.
- How: Buff gently with a soft cloth if you prefer a polished look, or leave it for a rustic, natural finish.
6. Burn on a Heat-Resistant Surface
- Why: Beeswax burns hotter than other waxes.
- How: Always use a stable, heatproof holder or tray under your candle.
For Wooden Wick Candles:
Trim the wick before each use, removing all charred wood from previous burns. A long wooden wick may not stay lit long enough to fuel the flame, causing it to extinguish itself. Always do this when the candle is fully cooked.
Light your wooden wick from the base, closest to the wax, and ensure the full wick is alight. Lighting from the top could result in the wood burning itself out before reaching the wax.
On the first burn, allow the wax to melt across the entire diameter of the candle. This will help prevent tunneling and ensure extended life of the candle.
Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep away from children and pets.
