To ensure the best experience, please follow these candle care guidelines:

Trim the Wick: Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to ensure a clean, even burn.


Burn Responsibly: Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from drafts, pets, and children.


Burn Time: For optimal burn quality, we recommend burning your candle for no more than 4-5 hours at a time.


Extinguish with Care: Extinguish the candle by gently blowing it out.
