To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your candles, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use. This helps prevent soot and promotes an even burn. Always burn your candle until the wax pool reaches the edges of the container to avoid tunneling. Keep candles away from drafts, and never leave them unattended. By following these simple steps, you’ll enjoy a cleaner, longer-lasting burn and get the most out of your candle experience.
