Candle Care

Ever wonder how to get the full use out of a candle and keep it clean all at the same time?? I have everything you need to know!!

1. First thing you should ALWAYS do before burning your candle is TRIM the wick to 1/4".  This allows the flame to be smaller and keep soot from turning the candle jar black. You can use our handy Wick Trimmer ($14.48) that gives you the perfect 1/4" wick and catches the trimmings. (Seen in middle photo)

2. Only burn your candles for 4 hours at a time.  By that time the room will be fully scented.  If you wish to continue to burn the candle, put it out and trim the wicks then relight the candle.

3. Use a Wick Dipper to extinguish the flame.  To do this, dip the wick into the melted wax.  This puts out the flame without any smoke.  It also coats the wick with a layer of wax to keep it ready for the next burn.  Extinguishing the flame with the Wick Dipper ($3.48) prevents residual smoke which will also keep your jar clean. (Seen on far right photo)

4. If for any reason wax is spilled onto any surface, we also sell a product that removes candle wax.  This Candle Wax Remover is only $8.48 and works on virtually any surface. (Seen on far left photo)
