CANDLE CARE
Thank you for choosing Moore Candle Co! To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, please follow these simple Candle Care tips.
Getting the Best Burn
Full Melt Pool: Always let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the jar during each burn. This helps prevent “tunneling” and ensures an even burn. The time it takes will vary depending on the fragrance and your room conditions.
Wax Hang Up: It’s normal to see a small amount of wax left on the sides of the jar during the first few burns. Don’t worry—once your candle burns down further, this minimal wax hang-up will melt and catch up, leaving a clean jar.
Burn Time: For safety, never burn your candle for more than 4-5 hours at a time. After this period, extinguish the flame, let the wax set, and then you can relight it later.
Wick Care
Trimming the Wick: Before each burn, trim the wick to about 5mm (¼ inch). This prevents excess soot and helps the candle burn cleanly.
Extinguishing the Flame: To prevent smoke and ensure a clean burn, extinguish your candle by using a candle snuffer or by gently dipping the wick into the melted wax with a tool or a wick dipper. Once extinguished, straighten the wick to prepare for an easier and cleaner relight next time.
Safety First
Safe Placement: Always burn your candle on a flat, stable surface away from drafts, open windows and anything flammable.
Never Leave Unattended: Do not leave a burning candle unattended, and keep out of reach from children and pets.
When to Stop
Discontinue Use: Stop using the candle when there is about 10mm (½ inch) of wax left at the bottom. Burning it beyond this point may cause the jar to overheat.
Recycling Leftover Wax
Reuse Wax: Don’t let leftover wax go to waste! Once the candle is completely cool, scrape out the remaining wax and place in an Electric or Tealight Burner to enjoy the last bit of fragrance.
By following these tips, you’ll get the most out of your candle while keeping your home safe. Enjoy the warm glow and wonderful scent!
