Candle Burning Tips
- Trim the little ball on the end of your wick to keep your candle burning gently, be sure not to cut it to short or it will become engulfed by wax
- To prevent tunneling and create a candle memory, the first time you light your soy candle let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the glass
- Allow Soy Candles to cool and harden before relighting them
- Never move or leave candles unattended while burning
- Keep the wick trimmed ¼ inch to prevent smoking and wick mushrooming and prolong the life of the candle, avoid cutting the wick too short as this will create problems with burning
- Cut the wick only when the wax has hardened
- When relighting your candle always trim the mushroom off the top of the wick
- Burn in a draft free area clear of curtains, books, baskets etc
- Place candles in a safe place away from children or pets
- Space candles apart while lit to prevent uneven burning
- Keep the burn pool clean
- Keep candles out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources
- Always place candles on a heat-resistant base and set on a level stable surface
- Do not store candles in the freezer or leave them in a hot car
- Candles may be cleaned by washing them gently in cool water. Allow to air dry before use
- To prep your candle for the next burn extinguish it by dunking the wick into it's own pool of wax using a wick dipper or pencil/similar
- If you wax is collecting on one side of the jar, creating an uneven burn adjust your wick back to the centre of the jar or lean it closer to the side that needs more heat
- Cotton wicks will mushroom, this is a natural character of the wick, always remove the mushroom before and during burning if burning for prolonged periods
- If you get any black at the rim of your glass simply wipe it away with a damp cloth, this may be a sign that your wick is to long
