Candle Care
Candle Care Guide
Welcome to STG Candles! To ensure you get the most out of your luxurious hand-poured candles, follow these simple care instructions:
1. First Burn:
- Allow your candle to burn for 2-3 hours, or until the wax pool reaches the edge of the container. This will prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn.
2. Trim the Wick:
- Before each burn, trim the wick to 1/4 inch to prevent excess soot and smoke. A trimmed wick also helps your candle burn more efficiently.
3. Burn Time:
- Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. This helps maintain the fragrance quality and prolongs the life of your candle.
4. Safety First:
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep candles away from drafts, flammable objects, children, and pets.
- Always burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
5. Extinguishing:
- Use a snuffer to extinguish the candle to avoid wax splatter. Alternatively, dip the wick into the melted wax and then straighten it. This will help prevent smoking and prepare the wick for the next burn.
6. Storage:
- Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and melting.
7. Reusing Containers:
- Once your candle has burned down to about 1/2 inch of wax, discontinue use. Clean out the remaining wax and repurpose the beautiful container for storage or décor.
