By following these tips, you can extend the life of your soy wax candles and enjoy a cleaner, more efficient burn.

1. Trim the Wick:
– Trim the candle wick to approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) before each use. This helps prevent excessive soot, uneven burning, and mushrooming of the wick.

2. Burn Time:
– Allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire surface to melt evenly. This prevents tunneling, where the wax only melts in the center, and ensures a longer-lasting candle.

3. Avoid Drafts:
– Keep candles away from drafts, as they can cause uneven burning and may result in a shorter burn time. Drafts can also lead to flickering flames, which can be hazardous.

4. Extinguish Safely:
– Always use a proper candle snuffer or lid to extinguish the candle. This minimizes smoke and prevents hot wax from splattering. Avoid blowing out the candle, which can introduce contaminants and cause smoke.
