Candle Care Tips

Trimming your candle wick is important because it ensures a precise, consistent burn without an excessively large flame, mitigating soot accumulation, and smoke. It also helps prolong the life of your candle by preventing uneven wax melting and "tunneling" where the wax only burns in the center of the candle, maximizing the fragrance throw and minimizing waste. A long wick can create a large, uncontrolled flame which can be a fire hazard, especially if the candle is knocked over or placed near flammable materials such as window curtains. A properly trimmed wick produces less smoke and soot, keeping your candle holder clean and preventing black marks on walls. By burning the wax evenly, a trimmed wick extends the life of your candle. A well-trimmed wick allows the scent to disperse evenly, maximizing the fragrance throw.
