Share
Lighting a luxury candle is more than just a ritual—it’s an experience. To help you enjoy every last moment of fragrance and light, here are our top tips for using and caring for your 216Candle handmade candle.
How to Use Your Candle for the Best Burn
- First Burn Matters: When you light your candle for the first time, let it burn until the melted wax reaches the edge of the container (usually 2–3 hours). This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn for future uses.
- Trim the Wick: Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps prevent soot, ensures a steady flame, and extends the life of your candle.
- Safe Placement: Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, pets, and anything flammable.
- Burn Time: Don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow it to cool before relighting.
- Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into melted wax to extinguish. Avoid blowing out the flame to minimize smoke.
How to Care for Your Candle
- Keep It Clean: If soot forms inside the jar, wipe it away with a dry paper towel once the candle is cool.
- Store Properly: Store your candle in a cool, dry place and keep the lid on when not in use to protect the fragrance.
- Watch the Wax: Discontinue use when only 1/2 inch of wax remains to prevent overheating the container.
- Reuse or Recycle: Our containers are designed to be reused or recycled. Clean out the jar with warm, soapy water and repurpose it for storage or decor!
Safety First!
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep away from children and pets.
- Always follow included safety instructions and warning labels.
