Candle Care Tips for Coconut Wax Candles with Wood Wicks
To get the best experience from your Miku & Co. coconut wax candle, follow these simple care tips:
-
First Burn – Set the Memory 🕯️: On the first burn, allow the wax to melt across the entire surface to prevent tunneling. This creates a “memory burn” and helps the candle burn evenly each time.
-
Trim the Wood Wick ✂️: Before each burn, trim the wood wick to about 1/8 inch (3-4 mm). This prevents excessive flame height and soot, ensuring a clean, controlled burn.
-
Avoid Drafts 🍃: Place your candle in a draft-free area to prevent uneven burning and maximize fragrance throw.
-
Burn in 3-4 Hour Sessions ⏳: For best results, limit each burn to 3-4 hours. This prevents the candle from overheating and helps extend its lifespan.
-
Keep It Clean 🧼: Remove any wick trimmings, matches, or debris before lighting to ensure a safe and clean burn.
-
Allow Wax to Set ❄️: Let the wax solidify before relighting. This promotes an even burn and better scent throw each time you light it.
-
Protect Surfaces 🛋️: Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface to avoid heat damage and protect your furniture.
-
Extinguish Properly 🚫: Extinguish by gently blowing out the flame or using a candle snuffer to avoid splattering wax.
-
Store Away from Sunlight ☀️: Keep your candle away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve its color, fragrance, and consistency.
Follow these tips to make the most of your Miku & Co. coconut wax candle and enjoy a beautifully fragrant, long-lasting burn!
