Candle Care Guide
At Aspen Soy Candles, we believe that burning a soy wax candle should be a delightful and safe experience. Here are five ways to ensure you get the most out of your soy wax candle:
- Trim the Wick: Before lighting your soy wax candle, make sure to trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This will help prevent excessive smoke and ensure a clean, even burn.
- Allow the Wax to Pool: When you first light your soy wax candle, allow it to burn until the wax has melted and pooled all the way to the edges of the container. This will help prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn throughout the life of the candle.
- Avoid Drafts: Place your soy wax candle in a draft-free area to prevent the flame from flickering and causing uneven burning. This will also help maximize the scent throw and ensure a longer burn time.
- Burn in Intervals: For optimal performance, it's recommended to burn your soy wax candle for no more than 4 hours at a time. This will help prevent the wick from becoming too long and producing excessive smoke.
- Extinguish Safely: When you're ready to extinguish your soy wax candle, use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid blowing directly onto the candle, as this can cause hot wax to splatter. Always double-check that the flame is completely extinguished before leaving the candle unattended.
By following these simple tips, you can enjoy the full fragrance and extended burn time of your soy wax candle. Remember to always prioritize safety and never leave a burning candle unattended. Happy candle burning!
