Candle Care: Enjoy Your CoziNests Candle Longer

To ensure a safe and enjoyable burn, please follow these simple steps:

  • First Burn Matters:
    • Allow the candle to burn until the wax pool reaches the edges of the vessel. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn for future use. (This may take 2-4 hours).
  • Wick Trimming:
    • Trim the wick to 1/8 inch before each lighting. This promotes a steady flame, prevents sooting, and minimizes "mushrooming."
  • Burn Time:
    • To maximize fragrance and candle life, burn for no more than 4 hours at a time.
  • Extinguishing:
    • Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. Avoid blowing it out, as this can cause wax splattering.
  • Flame Safety:
    • If the candle smokes, flickers, or the flame becomes too high, extinguish it immediately. Let it cool, trim the wick, and check for drafts before relighting.
  • Scent Throw:
    • For optimal fragrance, burn in a closed room. Open windows and doors will disperse the scent.
  • Sunlight:
    • Keep candles away from direct sunlight to prevent wax discoloration.
  • Final Burn:
    • Do not burn the candle all the way down. Leave at least ½ inch of wax at the bottom.
  • General Safety:
    • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
    • Use long matches or a long lighter to avoid getting too close to the flame.
    • Keep candles at least 12 inches away from flammable materials.
    • Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
