How to properly use your candle and
optimize your performance
Many people say they lose wax and hours of use when it burns out. Sometimes the candle makes a small hole around the wick and a lot of wax remains
on the sides of the pot. Why ?
We explain all this to you in this article.
​
It is important to melt the entire wax surface before extinguishing it.
Soy wax is an eco-friendly alternative that burns slower and lasts 40% longer than other conventional waxes. Its boiling point is higher, so it may burn for about 1-2 hours before the surface is completely liquid.
To extinguish, simply place the lid on the candle. This will prevent any accidents and the wick from moving if you blow too hard. If the lid is plastic, blow very gently on the wick.
​
The next time you use your candle, and each time you use it, it is important to trim the wick to ¼ inch (1 cm) from the wax. If the wick is left uncut, it may cause your candle to no longer light since your wick will only be ash. In addition, it will curl up on itself and color the wax, which is not necessarily aesthetic.
​
When your jar is empty, it washes very well in warm soapy water. There are thousands of uses to do with your jar, for example: going to fill it in a bulk grocery store, using it as a pencil jar, jewelry, paper clip etc.
