The very best way to get the optimum use of your candle is in the proper trimming, burning and snuffing of your candle. The goal is to have your candle burn to the bottom of the glass and with the least amount of ‘smoking’, (the black soot that can appear on the glass). Typically, your candle ‘smoking’ because the wick is too long. Other cheaper candles will smoke due to cheap wax and fragrance.

Your candle will arrive with the proper length wick. The recommendation is burning your candle until the wax has melt to the edge of the container before snuffing it out. This will keep your candle from ‘tunneling’ down the middle of the wax. Snuffing will keep you from blowing wax and possibly the flame where it should not be going. Safety first!

The next time you go to light your candle and the wax and wick are cooled, trim the wick with the handy Wick Trimmer to ¼ inch and your ready to light your candle. If you are burning your candle for many hours and you notice your candle is starting to smoke, snuff your candle, trim your wick and relight.
