Love at first burn
Trim your wick to 1/4”. When lighting for the first time, burn the candle until wax melts across the entire surface up to the sides of vessel as this will prevent tunnelling, and create an even burn for the duration of the candle's life.
Trimming your wick
We can’t stress the importance of trimming your wick. You should trim to 1/4” every time you burn. Keeping it this length will avoid mushrooming which can result in unnecessary soot. This also controls the size of the flame allowing you to get the most time out of your candle. For all the true candle fanatics you can find a wick trimmer here.
You will want to but, don’t burn the candle all the way down
It is really important candles are not burnt when there is less than 1/4” of wax remaining in the jar. Although it is tempting to continue burning your candle until the wax is gone, we strongly advise against this as the flame needs a solid base of wax to avoid overheating the glass jar.
Maximize your scent throw
Open windows and doors will disperse scent and lesson the concentration. For maximum fragrance keep windows and doors closed in desired space for 30 minutes before entering. Draughts decrease burn time, cause uneven burning, smoking and diminished scent throw.
