Safety First !
What's your candle etiquette like? Many of us have different etiquette when it comes to our candles. Some of us may not even know that candle etiquette exists!
Our goal at Creative Cure is to provide quality candles for your homes. But, what exactly does that mean?
"Quality" to Us, means: long lasting, even burning, and SAFE. While we can do our party by curating collections with clean fragrances and sustainable wax for a healthy, non-toxic burn... There are things that must be done at home, to maintain the quality of your candles (just like maintenance on a vehicle).
Here are some quick Tips & Tricks to optimize YOUR candles at home!
- Allow for a full burn pool (when the entire top layer of wax melts), before extinguishing. (This will ensure a longer burn time for your candle!)
- Avoid burning longer than 4 hours at a time.
- Always trim wick to 1/4 of an inch before using.
Meaning, if you're relighting your candle after its first use, (wax is dry) use scissors or a wick trimmer to trim the burnt wick/soot off and dispose of it.
- Avoid leaving any burnt pieces of wick in the vessel.
- Extinguish with lid provided OR a wick extinguisher. This is for multiple reasons:
- to avoid blowing hot wax onto yourself or your surroundings.
- minimize inhalation of soot.
- to preserve the air quality of the room you're burning the candle in.
