Ultimate Candle Performance
Candle season - Performance and Safety
As we creep back into candle season, I want to give you some helpful tips for Ultimate Candle Performance and Candle Safety reminders.
Ultimate Candle Performance
Placing your candle at a low level will increase the fragrance throw.
Think about the height of a coffee table. Sitting you candle on lower surfaces allows the heat and fragrance to rise, resulting in a wider fragrance throw.
Do not place your candle in a drafty area. This will cause your flame to weaken and your candle will not burn evenly.
After opening your candle, allow the initial burn to create a full melt pool. Meaning, your wax should be melted from side to side. This will take between 2 to 4 hrs.
Trim your wick to the proper length before burning.
When you extinguish your candle use a snuffer or smother with a candle lid.
After smothering your candle with a lid, and the flame is extinguish, remove the lid and allow the candle to air out.
Candle Safety
First start by finding a clutter free space to place your candle.
Be sure your candle is out of reach of kids and pets.
Next, make sure the wick is trimmed to the proper length (all Vibes Af Candles come trimmed at the proper length for burning).
Use a lighter or match to light your candle.
If you have a wood wick candle, slightly tilting your candle to the side, helps the flame catch on the the wick.
Always burn your candle in eye sight.
Never leave your candle burning unattended.
