To burn soy candles safely and effectively, trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting, and let the wax melt to the edges on the first burn to prevent tunnelling. Avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time, and keep candles away from drafts, flammable objects, children, and pets.

Before each burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) to prevent excessive smoking and soot. 

Allow the candle to burn for a long enough time on the first burn (2-3 hours) to create a full melt pool (wax melted to the edge).This will prevent "tunnelling," where the candle only burns down the center. 

  • Burn in Moderation:

    Avoid burning soy candles for more than 4 hours at a time. Overburning can cause excessive soot, uneven burning, and potential safety hazards.

  • Keep it Draft-Free:

    Place candles away from drafts, ceiling fans, and any moving air, as drafts can cause uneven burning and smoking. 

  • Safety First:

    Always burn candles on a heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials, children, and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. 

  • Extinguish Properly:

    Use a candle snuffer, place the lid back on the still lit or gently blow out the flame to avoid splattering hot wax.

Post-Burn:

  • Cool and Trim:

    Allow the candle to cool completely before trimming the wick again for the next burn. 

  • Storage:

    Store soy candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve their fragrance and prevent melting
