Before lighting your candle, make sure the wick is trimmed to 1/8 inch. This will help prevent the flame from getting too high and potentially causing soot or wax drips.
When burning your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for at least two to three hours or until the wax has melted evenly across the surface. This will help prevent tunnelling, which is when the wax burns down the middle leaving a tunnel of wax around the wick.
Always burn your candle on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts, pets, and flammable objects. Do not leave a burning candle unattended.
Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours. As if it burns for longer, it can cause wick failure.
When extinguishing your candle, use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Do not use water to extinguish the flame as this can cause the wax to splatter and create a potential fire hazard.
By following these simple care tips, you can enjoy the relaxing ambiance and comforting crackling sounds of your woodwick candle for many hours of burn time.
