The Golden Rule: Trim Your Wick
The single most important tip for maximizing the lifespan and burn quality of your Lychnari candles is simple: trim the wick before each use! A trimmed wick ensures a clean, even burn, minimizes soot, and prevents the candle from overheating. A well-maintained wick is key to a delightful candle experience.
The First Burn: Crucial for Candle Longevity
One of the biggest problems people face with candles is uneven burning. To avoid this with your Lychnari Candles & Crafts soy candle, make sure the first burn is a good one! Before lighting, trim the wick to about 1cm. Then, light the candle and allow it to burn for at least 3 hours, or until the entire surface has melted into an even pool of wax. This "memory ring" will ensure your candle burns evenly throughout its life, preventing tunneling and maximizing burn time.
Caring for Your Lychnari Candles
Beyond trimming and the first burn, here are a few extra tips for keeping your Lychnari Candles & Crafts candles in tip-top shape:
- Keep the wax pool free of debris: Remove any wick trimmings or other debris from the wax pool to prevent smoking or uneven burning.
- Burn candles in a well-ventilated area: Avoid drafts, which can cause uneven burning and smoking.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended: Safety first! Always extinguish the candle before leaving the room or going to sleep.
- Store your candles properly: Keep your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.
