1. Trim the Wick Before Every Burn

Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about ¼ inch. This reduces soot, prevents flickering, and allows your candle to burn evenly.

2. Let the Wax Pool

Always let the top layer of wax melt completely before blowing it out—especially on the first burn. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn.

3. Avoid Drafts

Keep your candle away from fans, windows, or air conditioners. Wind causes uneven burning and shortens burn time.

4. Use a Snuffer to Extinguish

Blowing out the flame can create smoke and mess up the wick. Use a candle snuffer to put it out gently and cleanly.

5. Burn for the Right Time

Don't burn your candle for more than 3–4 hours at a time. Over burning can make the container too hot and affect the scent quality.
