Candle Care Instruction
Before Burning:
1. Your first burn is your most important. Before burning your candle, trim the wick at least 1/4 inch. This prevent uneven burning, dripping or flaring.
2. Keep the pool of wax free of wick trimming and any debris at all time. There will be decorative dry florals on the candle. Make sure the dry florals are away from the wick.
3. Place the candle on stable, heat-resistant surface. This will also prevent possible heat damage to counters and table surfaces, and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking.
4. Avoid drafts, vents or air current. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and excessive dripping.
5. When lighting the candle, burn away from the decorative florals.
When Burning:
6. Burn at least 2 hours to get an even wax pool. You can burn up to 4 hours a time only.
7. When the decorative florals can no longer withstand the wax, remove it to avoid any fire hazard.
8. Never leave a burning candle unattended. If you are going to leave the room or go to bed, be sure to extinguish all candles first.
9. Never touch or move a burning candle.
10. Stop burning a candle when there is 1/4 inch of wax left in the vessel.
11. Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Before re-lighting, let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check for unwanted drafts.
12. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture and flammable decor.
13. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lit candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.
Extinguishing
14. Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle, if available, as its the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.
15. Do not use water to extinguish a candle, this can cause the hot wax to splatter and could break a glass container.
16. Before leaving the room, make sure your candle is completely out and there is no glow.
17. Do not touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled or the wax become solid.
Cleaning your vessel
18. Remove the candle with hot water. Pour hot water into the vessels. Wait for a couple of minute for the wax to melt. Let it cool for the wax to float to the surface. Strain the water and use a paper towel to gently wipe the wax out. Clean it with soap and warm water.
19. Remove wax with your oven. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place your spent candles upside-down on the foil. Place the baking sheet into the heated oven. After 15 min, the wax should pool on the foil. Take out the baking sheet, set on a heat-safe surface and remove the jar using an oven mitt. Clean it with soap and warm water.
20. Remove candle wax with your hair dryer. Turn your dryer on warm, use it to heat the candle's wax from the sides and bottom. Once the wax is soft to the touch, lift or scrape it out of the container and a butter knife.
