Candle Care
To keep your candles fragrant and in perfect condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve their scent and quality.
Reuse and Recycling
Get creative with your candle jars! After your candle has burned down, clean the jar and use it for storage, as a planter, or as a decorative piece. For eco-friendly disposal, check your local recycling guidelines.
Common Issues
-
💡 Uneven Burning:
Ensure the wick is trimmed to 1/4 inch before each use. This helps the candle burn evenly.
-
🔥 Candle Dimming:
If your candle is dimming, it may be running out of wax. Keep it away from drafts and make sure to burn it for the recommended time.
-
🌬️ Wax Pool Problems:
If you notice a wax pool forming unevenly, try adjusting the wick's position or trimming it to ensure it burns properly.
-
❄️ Flickering Flame:
A flickering flame can be caused by drafts or impurities in the wax. Make sure to burn your candle in a stable environment.
-
🕒 Short Burn Time:
To maximize burn time, allow the candle to burn until the entire top layer of wax is melted, usually about 1 hour per inch of diameter.
-
🌿 Soot Buildup:
If your candle produces soot, it may be due to a too-long wick. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch to reduce soot production.
-
🚫 Glass Jar Cracking:
To avoid cracking, never burn your candle for more than the recommended time and keep it away from extreme temperature changes.
-
💧 Excessive Melt Pool:
If the melt pool becomes too deep, extinguish the candle and trim the wick before relighting to avoid overheating.
-
🛑 Candle Not Lighting:
If your candle won’t light, check for moisture in the wick or trim it to ensure proper burning conditions.
