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.
