PF Candle Care Instructions

5 Ways To Take Care of Your Candles

1. Trim That Wick: Before lighting, trim the wick to 1/4" using scissors or one of our Wick Trimmers for a clean, safe burn and increased candle lifespan.

2. Let It Burn: Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar every burn to prevent tunneling - especially important on the first burn!

3. Safety First: Never leave a lit candle unattended, and don't burn for more than 4 hours at a time. To protect the surface below from heat, place your candle on a coaster or tile.

4. Know When to Stop: Don't burn your candle if only 1/4"-1/2" of wax remains. Lighting a candle without enough wax can overheat the jar.

5. Reuse It: Once the candle is finished, clean out the jar! Now you've got a new planter or pencil holder or whatever you'd like. More tips on how to reuse here.

 

-Trim your candle's wick to 1/4" before each lighting or once your candle has cooled.

-Never attempt to trim a burning candle.

-Discard the snipped portion in the trash; never leave wick trimmings in your candle jar.

-The wick should always remain centered and away from the sides of the vessel.

-Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar during each burn to prevent tunneling.

-Once the candle's gone, we hope you'll re-use it. Clean it out and you've got a new planter or pencil holder – or whatever you want! Click here for tips on reusing your empties.

-Safety first - because candles contain a small flame, we encourage following these common sense rules of thumb:

-Never leave a candle burning unattended, near a draft, or in reach of children or pets.

-Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

-Do not allow your wick to curl over, as this can create a larger than normal flame.

-Stop burning your candle when only 1/4" of wax remains.

-Do not pick up a burning candle or immediately after it's been blown out.

-Protect the surface underneath the candle no matter the material.
