Candle Care & Safety Guidelines
🕯 Jar Candles
To ensure an even burn and prevent tunneling, always burn your WaxThatWick candle for a minimum of 2 hours each time you light it. This allows a full melt pool to form and maximizes the candle's lifespan.
🕯 Pillar Candles (Only)
Avoid burning your pillar candle for too long. We recommend a maximum burn time of 1 hour per inch of the candle's diameter.
Example: A 3-inch diameter candle should not be burned for more than 3 hours at a time.
⚠️ Important Safety Reminders
- Every candle is unique. Improper use (or what we like to call “candle abuse”) may lead to fire, injury, or property damage.
- Never burn candles in drafty areas — this can cause uneven burning or increase fire risk.
- Always place your candle on a heat-resistant, fireproof surface or a proper candle holder.
- Never leave a lit candle unattended.
- Always keep candles out of reach of children and pets, and burn under adult supervision.
Caring for your candle properly not only keeps you safe, but also ensures the best possible burn and fragrance experience.
🧊 Wax Melts Care & Safety
Usage
Use 1–2 wax melt cubes based on your fragrance strength preference and the size of your warmer.
Cleaning Your Warmer
Once the wax has fully melted and you're ready to switch scents:
- Carefully pour the melted wax into the trash — never down the sink, as it may clog your drains.
- While the warmer is still warm (but not hot), wipe clean with a paper towel.
Safety Reminder
Melted wax is extremely hot. Always handle your wax warmer with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
