Candle FAQ

CANDLE CARE & QUESTIONS

How long should I burn my candle?

The first time you burn your candle it should be burned for at least 3-4 hours. It is not recommended you burn your candle more than 4 hours at one time.

Why is my wick curling or mushrooming?

Trimming is an important part of candle care because it prevents the wick from curling and “mushrooming” as it burns. It is recommended you trim your wicks every  3-4 hours to keep it at a good length and shape.

We use CD wicks which are non-directional, coreless cotton flat braid wicks containing paper filament throughout, which may create a curl at the end of the wick.

How is the scent not as strong as I expected?

1. Placing the lid back on the candle when not in use.

2. Container size and room size are important for scent throw. The wider the diameter, the stronger the fragrance will be. Smaller containers may be sufficient for a bedroom or bathroom while larger living spaces require a candle with a wider container.
