How to take care of candles? Proper candle care is essential for optimal performance and safety. To maintain your candles, follow these steps: Trim the wick: Keep the wick trimmed to approximately 1/4 inch (6-8 mm) before each use. This helps ensure a steady flame, reduces soot production, and prevents excessively large flames. Create a melt pool: Allow the candle wax to melt evenly across the entire surface, reaching the edges of the container before extinguishing. This prevents tunneling and ensures even burning throughout the candle's life. Burn time: Limit each burning session to around 2-4 hours to prevent overheating the container and ensure the candle's longevity. Store properly: Keep candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, to preserve their fragrance and appearance. Use a heat-resistant surface: Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to prevent damage to surfaces and reduce fire risk.
