Question 1

What steps should I take before lighting my candle?

Accepted Answer

Before you light up your candle, make sure to trim the wick to 1/4 inch. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping, or flaring. Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches, and debris. Avoid placing your candle near drafts, vents, or air currents to prevent rapid or uneven burning and excessive dripping. And remember, never lift the candle jar by its lid. Get ready to enjoy a perfect burn! 🕯️

Question 2

What's the best way to put out my candle?

Accepted Answer

When it's time to put out your candle, use a candle snuffer or wick dipper. It's the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering. Never use water to extinguish a candle, as it can cause the hot wax to splatter and might break the glass container. Snuff it out safely and enjoy the lingering fragrance! 🕯️

Question 3

What's the best way to safely enjoy my candles?

Accepted Answer

Hey there! To safely enjoy your candle, never touch or move it while it's burning, especially when the wax is melted. Leave about 2 inches of wax (or 1/2 inch if it's in a container) to avoid burning it all the way down. Keep your candles at least three inches apart to prevent them from melting each other or creating drafts. If the flame gets too high or flickers, extinguish the candle, let it cool, trim the wick, and check for drafts before relighting. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and always burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Avoid using candles as night lights and be cautious during power outages—flashlights are safer! Keep candles away from anything flammable and out of reach of children and pets. Always place your candle on a non-flammable surface like a plate or tile. Enjoy your cozy ambiance safely! 🕯️

Question 4

How do I stop my candle from tunneling?

Accepted Answer

Worried about candle tunneling? No need! To prevent it, let your candle burn for at least 2 hours so the wax melts evenly across the top. Avoid short burns as they don't allow the wax to melt completely. And remember, don't push the wax down into a hot candle—it can cause burns and shorten the wick, leading to more leftover wax. Embrace the leftover wax; it can actually help prevent the candle from overheating. Each burn is unique, and sometimes leftover wax is a safety feature. Enjoy your candle's cozy glow without the worry! 🕯️
