🕯️ Candle Care Tips: How to Make the Most of Your Scented Candles
Candles do more than just light up a room — they create a mood, a memory, and a magical ambiance. At AV Candle, we craft every scented candle with love and quality. But to truly enjoy your candle to the fullest and make it last longer, proper care is key.
In this blog, we’ll share essential candle care tips to help you get the best burn, fragrance, and safety from your favorite candle
🔥 Always Trim the Wick
Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to 1/4 inch (6mm). This helps prevent:
High flames
Soot buildup
Uneven burning
Use a wick trimmer or scissors for best results.
🕯️ Let the Wax Pool Completely
During the first burn, allow the candle to melt across the entire surface — this prevents tunneling and helps the candle burn evenly. Aim for at least 2 hours for your first burn.
💨 Use a Candle Snuffer to Extinguish
Blowing out a candle can cause wax splatter and smoke. Instead, use a snuffer to safely extinguish the flame without affecting the scent.
🧹 Keep the Candle Clean
Dust or debris in the wax can disrupt the burn. Before each use, ensure the surface is clean and remove any leftover wick pieces.
🏡 Burn Candles in a Safe Space
Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from:
Fans or air vents
Curtains or flammable items
Children and pets
Never leave a burning candle unattended
🧊 Store Candles Properly
To keep your scented candles fresh:
Store them in a cool, dry place
Keep away from direct sunlight
Use a lid to retain fragrance
This helps maintain both the scent and color.
🌿 Reuse the Jar
Once your candle is finished, clean the jar and repurpose it! Use it as a plant pot, pen holder, or mini storage container — eco-friendly and creative!
