Coastal Cottage - Cotton Wick

1. Trim the Wick: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps prevent excessive smoke and ensures a clean, even burn.
2. Burn Time: Allow your candle to burn for a few hours during the first lighting. This helps create an even wax pool and prevents tunneling, where wax accumulates around the wick and doesn't melt evenly.
3. Keep it Even: Ensure your candle is placed on a heat-resistant surface and away from drafts to prevent uneven burning.
4. Avoid Drafts: Drafts can cause candles to burn unevenly and may lead to excessive smoking or flickering. Keep candles away from open windows, fans, or air vents.
5. Extinguish Safely: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish the candle. Avoid blowing directly onto the wax, as this can cause splattering or create a draft.
6. Recenter the Wick: After extinguishing the flame and while the wax is still warm (not hot), use a tool to gently recenter the wick if it has shifted off-center during burning.
7. Storage: Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This helps preserve the fragrance and prevents the wax from melting or becoming discolored.
8. Safety First: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for candle usage and safety precautions. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

By following these candle care tips, you can enjoy a longer-lasting and safer candle-burning experience while maximizing the fragrance and ambiance they provide.
