candle care
the first burn
-
To prevent future tunneling, make sure you burn the candle until the entire surface layer of the wax has completely melted for the initial burn.
keep it clean
-
For the cleanest burn, keep the wax pool free of debris. When you're not burning the candle, keep the lid on to prevent dust particles from settling into the wax (all scentcerely candles, including our sample sizes, have lids!).
trim your wick
-
Before you light our candles, make sure the wick is trimmed about 3/16 of an inch (5 mm) every time. We recommend using a wick trimmer or a tissue to remove the top blackened portion of the wick in order to prevent soot (the unwanted black stain and smoke). Before trimming however, make sure the wax has completely cooled down and solidified.
know when to say goodbye
-
Do not have the candles burning for more than 4 hours at a time. When there’s only about ½ inch left of the wax, it’s time to say goodbye, but when one story ends, it opens the door for another to begin! Try out a new scent or reorder your favorite!
