🕯️ 1. Trim the Wick Before Every Burn
Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about ¼ inch (6 mm). This keeps the flame controlled, prevents soot, and helps your candle burn evenly — no more tunneling or wasted wax!
✨ Tip: You can use wick trimmers, scissors, or even nail clippers in a pinch.

🔥 2. Let the Wax Pool Reach the Edges

The first burn is the most important! Allow your candle to melt across the entire surface before blowing it out (usually 2–4 hours). This helps prevent tunneling and ensures your candle burns evenly from start to finish, giving you the longest possible life.

🏡 3. Burn Smart and Safe

Always place candles on a heat-safe, flat surface, away from drafts, pets, and anything flammable. Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time — this keeps the glass from overheating and the scent fresh. And always, always blow it out before leaving the room or heading to bed.

What's one unique candle care tip that most people don't know?

💛 “Hug” Your Candle After It Cools

After you blow out your candle and the wax has cooled slightly but is still soft, gently press the melted wax around the edges toward the center with clean fingers (or a soft cloth).

🕯️ Why it works:
This helps even out the wax surface and prevents tunneling in future burns. It also keeps your candle looking smooth and well-loved — like a little “hug” to help it reset before the next light.
