Store candles in a cool, dark and dry place with the lid on to keep them clean of dust and debris, and to help protect the wax and fragrance. Moving air can disturb the flame, resulting in those pesky black marks on the glass. When burning a candle, avoid proximity to fans, air conditioners, open windows, or crowded areas with people walking back and forth.

If a candle is not burned for long enough to allow the wax to liquefy or to melt from edge to edge of the container, it will create a “memory ring.” Once a candle has a “memory ring,” it will continue to tunnel for the life of the candle. For example, a candle that is 2 inches across should burn for 2 hours. Candles should burn one hour for every 1 inch in diameter of the actual candle size. Just like the first cut is the deepest, that first burn is the most important. Your candles will burn up to 25% longer if you trim the wick every couple of hours. Trimming wicks will help prolong the life of your candle. Wicks that are left long or crooked can cause uneven burning, dripping, flaring and sooting. Too much fuel can cause the flame to unexpectedly flare up or even start a small fire near the candle flame. Any debris will add more fuel to the candle than it’s designed to handle.
