Candle Facts

Candle Tip

When burning your candle the first time, make sure you burn it long enough so the wax pool melts all the way across the container. This may take up to 3-4 hours to achieve. Burning less time will cause the candle to core burn down the middle & shorten burn time.

The best way to blow out a candle is to hold your finger in front of the flame and blow at your finger. The air will flow around your finger and extinguish the candle flame from both sides preventing hot wax from spattering

Votive Tip

Place a small amount of water in the bottom of your votive holder,
doing this will keep the wax from sticking to your holder for an
easier clean up.

Storage Tip

Always store candles in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Make sure to store your candles upright to prevent warping.
Limit your candles' exposure to direct sunlight, because it will fade them rapidly.

Problem Solving

1. If a wick becomes too short to light, carve away enough wax to expose the fresh wick, then trim 1/4 inch off the top of the candle and burn the candle to reform it's appearance.

Crooked burning:

1. If wick moves off center, use a butter knife
to gently push it back to center.
2. If there is a draft, rotating the candle can help.

3. If soot builds up inside container, clean with a paper towel & lighter fluid or Windex. Wipe over the cleaned area with water dampened paper towel afterward. Allow the container to dry thoroughly before relighting. Baby wipes work as well!

4. Clean soiled or scratched candles with old nylons
or use a touch of salad oil on a soft cloth.

5. Remove wax from holders by running very hot
water over them.

6. To remove wax from washable fabrics, scrape off excess wax and run boiling water through the material.
