Essential candle care tips
Proper candle care is crucial for an optimal burn, maximizing fragrance throw, and most importantly, ensuring safety. Our handmade scented candles are crafted with love, and a little attention to detail from you will make all the difference in your experience.
Trim your wick
Before each lighting, ensure your candle wick is trimmed to 1/4 inch. This prevents excessive smoking, soot buildup, and an overly large flame, promoting a clean and even burn. A trimmed wick makes a world of difference!
Master the first burn
Allow your candle to burn long enough on its first use for the melted wax pool to reach the edges of the container. This usually takes 2-4 hours, depending on the candle size. This 'memory burn' prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn for the candle's lifespan.
Store for freshness
After extinguishing your candle and allowing it to cool, it's a great practice to place the lid or cover back on the jar. This helps protect the wax from dust and preserves the fragrance, keeping your Legacy Candle's smelling amazing until its next use.
Keep away from fire hazards
Always place your burning candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, and keep it away from anything flammable such as curtains, paper, or clothing. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Out of reach of children and pets
For the safety of your loved ones, always keep burning candles away from curious children and playful pets. A moment of inattention can lead to serious accidents.
Extinguish properly
Use a snuffer to extinguish your candle flame to minimize smoke and prevent hot wax from splashing. Avoid blowing out the candle, as this can scatter embers and produce more smoke. Ensure the wick is upright and centered after extinguishing.
