Candle Care & Safety Guidelines

Trim the Wick
Before each use, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch. This promotes an even burn and helps prevent black soot from forming on the glass.

Recenter the Wick
After extinguishing your candle, gently realign and straighten the wick while the wax is still soft. This ensures an even burn during the next use.

Safety Tips

Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Always place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface.
Keep it away from curtains, fabrics, and anything flammable.
Avoid drafty areas to maintain an even flame.
Do not place candles directly on marble or glass surfaces, as the heat may cause the material to crack.
