Candles create a warm, inviting atmosphere, and our Neriah Candle Collection is designed to bring both beauty and faith into your home. To ensure a safe and long-lasting burn, it's essential to follow proper candle care techniques. In this guide, we’ll cover best practices for maintaining your Neriah Candles and important candle safety dos and don’ts.
Proper Care for Your Neriah Candles
1. Trim the Wick Before Every Burn
- Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch using a wick trimmer. This helps prevent excessive smoke, soot, and an overly large flame.
2. Follow the 4-Hour Rule
- Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Burning for too long can cause the wax to overheat, leading to a larger flame and potential safety hazards.
3. Allow a Full Melt Pool
- On the first burn, let the candle wax melt evenly to the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even, long-lasting burn.
4. Keep Your Candle Clean
- Ensure there are no wick trimmings, matches, or debris in the wax. Any foreign objects can affect the burn quality and pose a fire risk.
5. Store Your Candle Properly
- Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the fragrance and wax integrity.
6. Put the Lid On After Burning
- After extinguishing your candle, place the lid back on to help preserve the fragrance and extend the longevity of your candle.
Candle Safety Dos and Don’ts
Dos:
✔ **Burn on a Stable Surface** – Always place your candle on a heat-resistant, level surface to prevent tipping.
✔ **Use a Wick Dipper or Snuffer** – Extinguish your candle using a wick dipper or snuffer instead of blowing it out to reduce smoke and wick disturbance.
✔ **Monitor the Burn Area** – Always keep an eye on a burning candle and keep it away from children and pets.
✔ **Allow the Wax to Cool Before Moving** – Wait until the wax hardens before touching or relocating the candle.
Don’ts:
✖ **Never Leave a Candle Unattended** – Always extinguish your candle before leaving a room.
✖ **Avoid Drafty Areas** – Keep your candle away from windows, vents, and fans, as drafts can cause uneven burning and flickering flames.
✖ **Don’t Burn a Candle to the Bottom** – Stop using the candle when about ½ inch of wax remains to prevent overheating the container.
✖ **Do Not Use Water to Extinguish** – Water can cause the hot wax to splatter and may even crack the container.
Invest in a Wick Trimmer Set
For the best candle experience, we highly recommend purchasing a wick trimmer set. This set typically includes a wick trimmer, snuffer, and wick dipper, making it easier to maintain a clean and even burn while enhancing the longevity of your Neriah Candles.
