First Burn of your new candle

Have you ever wondered why your candles don't burn evenly or tunnel down the middle, leaving wasted wax along the sides? Proper candle care is essential to ensure you get the most out of your favorite scents. Follow these simple steps to keep your candles burning beautifully every time.

Why is Wick Trimming Important?

Throughout the life of your candle it's crucial to trim your wick to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. This helps prevent the flame from getting too large and causing the candle to burn unevenly. A trimmed wick also reduces smoking and soot, keeping your candle clean and safe to burn.

How Long Should You Burn Your Candle?

Next, make sure you burn your candle for 3-4 hours uninterrupted. This allows the wax to melt evenly across the surface of the candle, preventing tunneling. Tunneling occurs when the candle burns straight down the middle, leaving a ring of unused wax around the edges. By following this step, you decrease the likelihood of your candle tunneling for the duration of its life.

By taking these simple steps, you can enjoy your candles longer and more efficiently. Proper candle care not only enhances the burning experience but also ensures you get the most out of each candle you light. So, remember to trim your wick and burn your candle for the recommended time to keep your candles looking and smelling their best.
