1. Place it Right

Always place your candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface to prevent accidental tipping or damage to furniture. Keep the candle away from flammable materials like curtains, paper, or fabric—your glow-up doesn’t need an extra spark.

2. Keep it Clear

Make sure there’s a safe space around your candle. Avoid placing it under shelves or in cluttered areas where flames or heat might cause damage. Think minimal and chic: a candle with breathing room looks better anyway.

4. Mind the Wick

Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn. A properly trimmed wick reduces smoke, prevents soot buildup and helps the candle burn evenly and safely.

3. Watch the Burn

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Whether you’re stepping out for a moment or winding down for the night make it a habit to extinguish the flame before you walk away.

5. The First Burn is Key

Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar during the first burn—this prevents tunneling and ensures your candle burns beautifully throughout its life.

6. Keep it in Check

Always burn your candle in a draft-free area to avoid uneven flames or flickering. Drafts can also cause excessive smoking which is both messy and unsafe.

7. Play it Cool

Stop burning your candle when about ½ inch of wax remains. This prevents the jar from overheating, which could cause cracks or damage to surfaces.

8. Extinguish Safely

Blowing out candles may look dramatic but it’s not always safe. Instead use a snuffer to extinguish the flame. This avoids splattering hot wax and reduces smoke for a cleaner finish.

9. Keep Away from Kids and Pets

Candles may look intriguing to little hands and curious paws but they’re not toys. Always place your candles in spots that are out of reach from children and pets.

10. Store Smart

When not in use store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. This preserves the quality of both the wax and fragrance ensuring your next burn is just as luxurious as the first.
