​

​​Treat your candles with the love they deserve by following a few simple safety precautions that will ensure that you get the very best each time you use them.

​​

​

​

1. TRIM THE WICK. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 

​

Each time you want to burn your candle, start by trimming the wick to between 1/8 and 1/4 inches long. Trimming the wick keeps the flame in control and prevents those marks from forming in the first place. 

​​

​

2. LET THE WAX MELT ALL THE WAY ACROSS.

​

Once your candle's lit, don't blow it out until the top layer of wax has melted all the way across. This might take 2-3 hours.

​​

​

3. KEEP THE FLAME AWAY FROM MOVING AIR. 

​

​​

​Do your best to keep your burning candle away from fans, air conditioners, open windows, or heavily trafficked areas where people walk back and forth a lot. Moving air can disturb the flame, leading to even more unsightly black marks on the glass.
