CANDLE CARE

Maximizing the life of your candle

Candle Care Arcane Candles

How Do I Care For My Candle?

It is very important to practice good candle care in order to maximize the use of your Arcane candles!

  • Burn your candle for no less than 1 hour and no more than 4 hours to avoid "tunneling" and maximize candle life. When burning any candle it is always best to allow it to reach a full melt pool, which means burning the candle long enough for the wax to be melted to all sides of the jar. This will keep the candle's burn even and clean. Please note that sometimes it will not reach a FULL melt pool upon first burn. This is OK. It will generally reach within the 2nd or 3rd burn.

  • Lit candles are hot. Never touch a candle jar while it is lit and please allow sufficient time to cool before handing or moving a candle. Avoid spilling wax to avoid injury and/or uneven burn. I advise using a hot plate or something underneath your candle to avoid damage to surfaces caused by the heat of the candle vessel.

  • Please trim wicks to 1/4" before each use to avoid sooting and unnecessary smoke. ( I do my best to make sure your wick is properly trimmed before your very first burn and I also use non sooting wicks in my candle tins.)

  • Never burn a candle with less than 1/2" of wax remaining at the bottom of the jar. When your candle is done, clean out the remaining wax and repurpose the jar! (ex. Plant Succulents, desktop pencil and pen holder, etc.)

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children or pets. If open flame is something you just cannot have in your household, consider the wax melt option. Same wonderful fragrance without an open flame!

  • Never burn candle near a draft or an open window with drapes. Keep candle in sight at all times and avoid falling asleep with the candle still burning.

Enjoy!
