Candle Care 101: Tips for the Perfect Burn

How to Make the Most of Your Luxury Candle

A luxury candle is more than just a decoration—it’s an investment in ambiance, relaxation, and elegance. To ensure your candle burns beautifully and lasts as long as possible, proper care is essential.

1. Trim the Wick: Always trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each burn. A shorter wick produces a cleaner, brighter flame and reduces soot buildup.
2. Let the Wax Pool: On the first burn, allow the wax to melt completely across the surface. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn every time.
3. Keep It Safe: Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface and keep it away from drafts to maintain a steady flame.

Extinguishing your candle properly is just as important. Use a candle snuffer to avoid smoke and preserve the scent for future use. At Wax & Wonder, we craft our candles with premium materials to guarantee a luxurious experience from the first light to the last flicker.
