CANDLE CARE GUIDE
Burn safely. Reuse the jar.
Care & safety
First burn
Let the wax melt fully to the container’s edges for an even burn and to help prevent tunneling.
Keep air moving
Burn in a well-ventilated room. Avoid several candles in a small or poorly ventilated space.
Extinguish gently
Use the lid or a snuffer; do not blow it out. A wick dipper can press the wick into melted wax, then lift it upright again.
Store well
Keep candles in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight.
Remove leftover wax
Warm-water bath
Place the jar in hot water for a few minutes until the wax softens. Pour softened wax into the trash, wipe the jar, then wash with soap.
Freezer method
Freeze for several hours until the wax is brittle. Gently remove the wax and wipe away the remaining bits.
Never pour leftover wax down the drain; it can clog pipes.
Reuse the jar
- Turn it into a small planter.
- Organize stationery, cotton pads or hair pins.
- Store candies or chocolates.
- Clean the jar and make another scented candle.
