  1. Trimming the Wick: Always trim your candle wick to about 1/4 inch before each use. This helps prevent soot and ensures a clean, even burn. Use a wick trimmer or sharp scissors for best results.

  2. First Burn: When you light your candle for the first time, let it burn until the wax melts to the edge of the container. This can take a few hours but prevents tunneling and promotes an even burn for future uses.

  3. Avoiding Drafts: Place your candles away from drafts, vents, or fans to prevent uneven burning and excessive flickering. A stable environment ensures a steady flame and longer burn time.

  4. Extinguishing Properly: To avoid soot and splattering, use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax to extinguish the flame, then straighten it again. Avoid blowing out candles, as this can cause uneven burning and affect the scent.

  5. Storage Tips: Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the fragrance and quality of the wax. Covering your candles when not in use also prevents dust from settling on the surface.
