Candle Care
Candle Care Guide
Welcome to Loved By Me Creations! To ensure you get the most out of your beautiful candles, we’ve put together some essential tips for proper candle care. Follow these guidelines to enjoy a longer-lasting, cleaner, and more fragrant burn.
Before You Burn
- Trim the Wick: Always trim the wick to about ¼ inch before lighting. This helps prevent soot and ensures a clean, even burn.
- Remove Packaging: Make sure to remove all packaging before lighting your candle.
- Choose the Right Spot: Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, vents, or anything flammable.
During the Burn
- First Burn Matters: Let the wax melt across the entire surface during the first burn. This helps prevent tunneling and creates an even burn for future use.
- Burn Time: For best results, burn your candle for 2-4 hours at a time. This allows the wax to melt evenly and releases the full fragrance.
- Safety First: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
After the Burn
- Extinguish Properly: Use a snuffer to extinguish the candle to prevent hot wax from splattering. Avoid blowing out the candle.
- Re-center the Wick: After extinguishing, re-center the wick if necessary. This helps maintain an even burn next time.
- Storage: Store candles in a cool, dark place to preserve their fragrance and color. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Additional Tips
- Keep the Wax Pool Clean: Remove any debris from the melted wax to prevent uneven burning.
- Avoid Burning in Drafts: Drafts can cause uneven burning and excessive soot.
- Use a Candle Holder: For added safety, use a candle holder to catch any drips and protect your surfaces.
