Place the burning candle on a plain and heat proof surface to prevent accidents.

Our soy Candle Care Instructions
Soy candles are made from soybean oil, natural additives, and essential oils. Soy candles are made from renewable plant sources so they are a healthier and more sustainable option than paraffin candles. To maximize the lifespan of these candles, here are some soy candle care tips:
Store them properly
Keep your soy candles in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and harsh temperatures to prevent the candle from melting.
Trim the wick
Always make sure to trim ¼ inch of a wick to ensure a clean and smooth burn.
Burning time and duration
Avoid burning your soy candles for more than four hours at one go, it’s best to let them cool and then light them again.
Lighting the candle
When you light the soy candles for the first time let the wax pool in evenly across the candle to avoid tunneling in the middle of the candle.
Extinguishing the candle
Never leave a burning candle unattended, if you are going to sleep light off the candles to avoid accidents.
Scented Candle Care
Scented candles are made using soy wax and are infused with fragrance oils. The fragrance oils release a beautiful fragrance when they are burned and fill the room with aromatic notes. The Candle Wick Store has a wide range of scented candles available that you can check out. Such candles need special care so that their scent lasts longer, let’s look into a few of them:
- Don’t use the scented candles if the jar has been damaged.
- Burn the scented candle for a sufficient time: Light the scented candles for the time that the top layer of the wax becomes liquid, this helps the essential oils to fully release their scent.
- Avoid short burn time: Burning scented candles in short intervals in just a few minutes can cause a narrow wax pool which may cause scent throw and reduce the lifespan of the candle.
- Close the lids of the scented candles: If your scented candle has a lid, then put it back after every use to prevent the scent from dissipating
- Avoid strong airflow: Make sure to keep your scented candles away from fans, and open windows as the strong air circulation can disperse the fragrance reducing its longevity.
- Don’t mix scents: Mixing different scented candles can result in a weird scent so maintain the integrity of each scent and store them separately.
