Candle care hacks every user should know

Trim the wick slightly before every use to prevent soot and smoking.

For the first burn, let the candle melt to the edges. This ensures even burn and prevents tunneling.

Burn your candles for not more than 3-4 hours at a stretch to prevent overheating.

Store candles in a cool, dry place. If available keep the lid or protective layer on to avoid dust and scent loss.

Clean soot by rubbing alcohol on cleaning pads to remove dirt and restore fragrance.
