Candle Care and Safe Handling
Taking care of your candles not only ensures a longer burn time but also helps maintain their optimal performance. Here are some tips to keep your M&V Soy Candles burning bright:
Trim the Wick: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to prevent excessive flickering, sooting, or uneven burning. A trimmed wick also helps in controlling the size of the flame.
Avoid Drafts: Keep your candle away from drafts to ensure an even burn. Drafts can cause your candle to burn unevenly, leading to tunneling and wasted wax.
First Burn Matters: Allow your candle to create a full melt pool on the first burn. This typically takes about 2-3 hours, depending on the size of the candle. This prevents tunneling and sets the stage for a clean and even burn throughout the candle’s life.
Burn Responsibly: Never leave a burning candle unattended and make sure to place it on a heat-resistant surface away from flammable objects, children, and pets. never burn more than 4 hours at a time. Stop use when only 1/2 inch of wax remains. Always extinguish the candle if you need to leave the room.
Store Properly: When not in use, store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This helps maintain the candle’s scent and color.
By following these simple candle care tips, you can enjoy a longer-lasting and more fragrant experience with your M&V Soy Candles.
