Candle Care
Do's &
Don'ts
-
Ensure that your wick is trimmed between 3.2mm - 4.8mm (1/4 of an inch) before each use. Remove the ash or burnt wood along the top edge of the wick from the previous burn. If you do not have a wick trimmer, simply remove it with your fingers or use a nail clipper.
-
Burn your candle no more than 4 hours at a time. This will help prolong the life of your candle.
-
Candle, including container, wax and wick will become hot when in use. Handle with care.
-
Burn candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, in a well ventilated area and away from things that may catch fire (i.e. curtains, decorations, beddings).
-
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
-
Discontinue burning your candle when approximately 7mm (1/2 of an inch) of wax remains. This is for security reasons.
-
Clean and reuse your jar! See below for instructions.
Clean
&Reuse
Finished burning your candle? Clean and reuse your jar to help reduce the environmental foot print it leaves behind.
There are multiple ways to clean a used candle jar but this is the method I like best.
-
Preheat the oven to 280°
-
Line a baking sheet with aluminum paper
-
Place your finished candle jar upside down on the baking sheet
-
Place in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes
-
Remove from the oven
-
Carefully wipe down the jar with some paper towel. ATTENTION - the jar will be hot so handle with care. I strongly suggest using over mitts for safety.
-
Wash the jar with hot soapy water and let dry
-
Once the melted wax has cooled on the baking sheet, simply place in the garbage
Note: It is possible you might have to wash the jar a couple of times to fully remove the lingering scent. You can also spray the jar with rubbing alcohol at this point.
