Get the Most Out of Your Candles

Follow these expert tips to ensure a perfect burn every time and maximize the life of your WICK WORX candles.

1. The First Burn is Critical

The first time you light your candle is the most important. Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the container (this usually takes 2-4 hours). This creates a "memory ring" and prevents tunneling in future burns.

2. Keep Burns to 3-4 Hours Maximum

While it's tempting to burn your candle all day, limit burn time to 3-4 hours at a time. This prevents the container from overheating and helps maintain the fragrance quality.

3. Trim Your Wick Before Each Burn

Always trim your wick to 5mm before lighting. This ensures a clean, even burn and prevents smoking or mushrooming of the wick.

4. Keep Away from Drafts

Place your candle away from windows, fans, and air vents. Drafts cause uneven burning, smoking, and reduced burn time.

5. Stop Burning When 1cm of Wax Remains

Never burn your candle all the way to the bottom. Stop using it when there's about 1cm of wax left to prevent heat damage to the surface below.

6. Store Properly Between Burns

Keep your candle covered when not in use to prevent dust buildup and preserve the fragrance. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Follow these tips and your WICK WORX candles will burn beautifully from first light to last!
