Candle FAQ
How long can I safely burn my candle at one time?
No more than 4 hours per burn. Avoiding excessive burn time helps the candle perform well and burn safely.
Do I need to trim the wick?
Yes - trim it to 1/4" before every burn. This keeps the flame controlled and the wax burning cleanly, without excess soot.
Why does my candle need to melt all the way to the edge?
On the first burn especially, let the wax pool reach the full edge of the vessel. This prevents tunneling, so your candle burns evenly for its whole life.
What general safety precautions should I follow while burning my candle?
Always burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable objects, never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it out of reach of pets and children.
Do I need to remove anything before lighting?
Yes - remove any dried botanicals or decorative toppers from the wax surface before burning, as they can catch fire.
