Candle Care for our Slow Burning Candles

Trim your wick to the length recommended size on the warning label on the bottom of your candle. A wick trimmer is the perfect tool to trim wicks to appropriate sizes. If you do not have a wick trimmer a sharp pair of scissors will do the trick to get the wick to the proper size. Trim wicks while candle is at room temperature and hardened. Trimming wicks after burning will be more difficult to trim because of the wax absorbed into the wick being soft.

If you want to reduce flickering and smoke, keep candle away from drafts. If you notice that the melt pool of your candle is favoring a particular direction rotate your candle to even out the melt pool for highest quality of scent throw.

Melt pool is the area of melted wax at the top of your candle after lighting. After large amounts of testing, we have selected the proper size wick to go with the premium soy waxes we use for each candle. For the best burn and strongest scent throw, it is important to allow your candle enough time to produce a melt pool covering the entire surface of the candle to all edges of the glass.
