How to Take Care of Your Homemade Natural Candle

22 July, 2024

Here are some essential tips on how to maintain your homemade natural candles:

 **Trim the Wick**

Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch in length.

**Burn for the Right Amount of Time**

When lighting your candle, allow it to burn for at least 1 hour for every inch of the candle's diameter.

 

 **Keep Away from Drafts**

Position your candle in a stable, draft-free area.

**Store Properly**

When not in use, store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. 

**Avoid Burning for Too Long**

To prolong the life of your candle, avoid burning it for more than 4 hours at a time. 

**Use a Candle Snuffer**

Instead of blowing out your candle, use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. T

**Clean the Candle Holder**

If your candle is in a container, periodically clean the holder to remove any wax residue.

 **Monitor for Safety**

Always keep an eye on your candle while it’s burning. Never leave it unattended, especially around pets or children.
