Helpful Tips for Soy Candles and Wax Melts

Have no fear we are here to provide you with some helpful tips for using soy wax candles and melts. Whether you have purchased our 2-In-1 Fragrance Warmer or our Cabin Fever soy wax melt, these tips will ensure that you get the most out of your products and create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in your home.

1. Burn your candles for the recommended amount of time:

Soy wax candles have a memory, which means that the first time you burn them sets the stage for all future burns. It is important to allow the candle to create a full melt pool across the entire surface before extinguishing it. This usually takes about 2-3 hours. By doing so, you prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn throughout the life of the candle.

2. Trim the wick before each use:

Before lighting your soy wax candle, make sure to trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps to prevent excessive smoke, soot, and mushrooming of the wick. A trimmed wick also ensures a clean and steady burn, allowing you to enjoy the fragrance without any distractions.

3. Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame:

Avoid blowing out your soy wax candle as this can cause the wick to smolder and produce smoke. Instead, use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. This helps to preserve the fragrance and prevent any lingering smoke or odor.

4. Store your candles in a cool, dry place:

To maintain the quality and integrity of your soy wax candles, it is important to store them in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Excessive heat can cause the candles to melt or warp, affecting their performance and fragrance. By storing them properly, you can enjoy their soothing scents for a longer period of time.

5. Experiment with different fragrance combinations:

One of the advantages of using soy wax melts is the ability to mix and match different fragrances to create your own unique scent combinations. Feel free to experiment and combine different melts to find your perfect blend. This allows you to customize the ambiance of your home and create a truly personalized experience.
