trim yo damn wick * in style *

trimming your wick is So important for candle care. after hours of burning, your wick will begin to mushroom (the ugly soot ball that forms on the end of it). if you do not remove this piece, the next time you burn your candle it will do a few things you do not want:

1) it will burn hotter, which means it will melt down faster
2) it will smoke and product soot around the container your candle is in (and we all know that soot goes into the air too!)

get the most out of your candle and trim your wick after every use (or before you light, tomato/tomato). you don't have to trim it too short, keep it at about 1/4" and your candle will last longer and smell great from the first light!

How to properly burn your candle

  • Trim the wick to 1/4" tall before lighting your candle.
    Every. Damn. Time. Don't skip this step, k?
    Trimming your wick will prevent soot and smoke, keeping your wax clean and candle burning nicely.
  • For a nice even burn, allow enough time for the wax to melt completely to the edges of the container to avoid tunnelling.
    This is especially important during the first burn. The melt pool should grow by about an inch per hour.
  • Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Burning your candle for longer than 4 hours can create a larger flame resulting in soot, smoke, and increased fire risk.

Safety first

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended; be sure to extinguish your candle before leaving the room.
  • Place candle on a stable, heat resistant surface away from flammable objects before lighting.
  • Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.
