Tranquil Glow: Sandalwood Scented Candle

Candle Care Guide
Proper candle care ensures a longer burn time, enhances fragrance, and maintains safety. Follow these simple steps to get the most out of your candles.

1. Trim the Wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (6 mm). A longer wick creates excess soot and an uneven flame, while a properly trimmed wick ensures a steady, clean burn.

2. First Burn Matters
Allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn, usually 1-3 hours, depending on the candle’s size. This prevents tunneling, where wax burns down the center and wastes the edges.

3. Burn Time Limit
Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Prolonged burning can cause carbon buildup on the wick, leading to excessive smoke and soot.

4. Keep It Clean
If debris, such as wick trimmings or dust, falls into the wax, remove it to maintain a clean burn.

5. Burn in a Safe Spot
Place candles on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, flammable objects, children, and pets. Drafts can cause uneven burning and dripping.

6. Extinguishing the Right Way
Use a candle snuffer to put out the flame instead of blowing it out, which can cause wax splatter and smoke.

7. Store Properly
Keep candles away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping, melting, or fading.

By following these tips, your candles will burn evenly, last longer, and provide a safe and enjoyable ambiance.
