  • Trim the Wick

    Before each burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This prevents excess smoke and ensures an even, clean flame.

  • Allow a full melt pool

    On the first burn, let the wax melt across the entire surface of the candle. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn for the life of the candle.

  • Burn Safely

    Always place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, pets, and flammable objects. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
