Candle Care

🕯️ Candle Care Guide – 4 Wicks Candle Co.

Because a little care makes every candle last longer and burn better.

🧼 1. Trim the Wick

Before each burn, trim your wick to ¼ inch. This helps prevent excess soot, uneven burning, and large flames.

🕒 2. Let It Melt

On your first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the jar — usually about 2–3 hours. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even melt every time.

🚫 3. Burn Smart

• Only burn your candle for 3–4 hours at a time.

• Always place your candle on a heat-safe surface.

• Keep away from drafts, children, and pets.

💨 4. Extinguish with Care

Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid splashing hot wax. Never use water to extinguish a candle.

♻️ 5. Reuse the Jar

Once your candle is done, clean out the jar with warm water and soap. Reuse it for pens, plants, or anything pretty.

⚠️ Safety First

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Don’t burn when less than ½ inch of wax remains.

• Store candles in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

💡 Pro Tip:

Burning your candle correctly from the start helps it last up to 30% longer.
