Candle Care Guide: Tips to care for your candle

🕯️ Candle Care 101: Keep That Glow Going

First Burn = Forever Burn 🔥

Let your candle melt evenly across the top before blowing it out (about 2-3 hours). This prevents the dreaded tunneling and keeps your candle burning like a pro.

Trim That Wick ✂️

Before each burn, trim the wick to 5mm (about the size of a matchstick). This keeps the flame clean and stops the wick from mushrooming.

No Long Burns 🚫🔥

Candlelit vibes are everything, but don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time—we want melty, not messy.

Safe & Chic Placement 🏡

Keep your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, kids, pets, or anything flammable. Aesthetic setup? Yes. Fire hazard? No thanks. Pair with a KAM-EO reed diffuser to add different layers of fragrance around your home/space.

Repurpose Like a Pro ♻️

Once your candle is done, clean out the jar and upcycle it! Use it for makeup brushes, plants, or even coffee beans for a scent boost.
