1. Trim your wick to¼ of an inch before EACH use. This promotes a safe, even and steady burn. It will limit the likeliness of a mushrooming wick.
2. When enjoying your candle for the first time, allow it to burn until wax melts across the entire surface of your jar. This may take between 1-2 hours and will greatly increase the life burn of your candle.
3. Trim your candle wick after each burn. This is very important to prevent the candles from smoking on the next burn or from burning the sides of the glass. I strongly recommend trimming them between 1/4th and 1/8th of an inch each time.
4. For safety and to preserve the life and aroma of your candle, do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. (This should be a common safety practice for any candles you use.)
5. Always keep your candle free of old wick trimmings, soot, matches, and debris at all times. If soot begins to occur during your burn, extinguish your candle and allow to cool before wiping it out.
6. Extinguish the candle with a snuffer to completely smother the flame. Blowing out does not always completely extinguish the flame. Do not blow out.
7. To maximize scent throw, burn in the desired space for 30 minutes with the door closed. Opening doors and windows will then spread the scent. Scent throw is the fragrant smell that is released from the candle while burning.
8. To extend the life of your candle, always store your candles in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid placing your candles where they will be directly exposed to sunlight or harsh indoor lighting.
9. All candles are made from natural soy wax. As a result, you may see a creamy or uneven texture after your burns. This is a natural effect of my dye-free, clean-burn wax.
