First burn: Allow the candle to burn until a full melt pool forms, reaching the edges of the container. This ensures an even burn for future uses.

Trim the wick: After extinguishing the flame, trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use to help maintain an even burn and reduce soot.

Burn time: Avoid burning the candle for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating and extend its lifespan.

Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or the container lid to put out the candle, rather than blowing it out. This helps preserve the fragrance and wick quality.

Surface melting: Allow the candle to melt evenly across the surface each time it’s lit to avoid tunneling and maximize burn time.
