Taking care of your candle

 A candle is pretty, but it is still a miniature fire!

Follow this easy maintenance process to ensure your burning experience is optimal and your candle melts evenly.

 Before:

• Trim the wick to 1/4" before each lighting. A long or bent wick can cause uneven burning. Awick trimmer is ideal, as it collects combustion debris, but a simple nail clipper for a new wick or fingers for a charred wick work just fine!
• Place the candle on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface.
• Keep the burning surface free of any debris or wick residue.

During:

• Leave the candle lit until the wax is melted from wall to wall (about 2-3 hours). Do not burn a candle for more than 4 hours at a time. This can overheat the jar and cause breakage and/or premature burning of the fragrance.
• Do not handle the candle when it is lit. The jar can get very hot!
• Always keep an eye on your candle, keep out of reach of children and pets.

 

After:

• To unmold it, leave ¼” of wax at the bottom before extinguishing it for the last time. You can reuse your jar multiple times with Coton Corail refills.
• Throw the remaining wax in the compost! (Remove the base of the wick first).
