Candle Care
Get the most out of your candle by taking care of it.
Here are a few tips for enjoying your Apothenne candles:
-
The first time you burn our candles, it’s important to allow it to burn for 2-3 hours to create a full “melt pool” This will ensure the melted wax reaches all the way to the edge of the container. Soy candles have a MEMORY - the very first time you burn one you have to allow it to melt to the outer edges of the vessel!
-
This allows for a clean, even burn all the way down. if the first burn is too short the candle will only burn down the middle, creating a tunnel.
-
Trim your wick every time before you re-light the candle. You can use a wick-trimmer or just pinch off the little black tip with your fingers!
-
All of our candle containers can be re-used. Just wash out the container with warm soapy water...use it as a planter for succulents, makeup brushes, craft supplies, drinking glasses and much more!
-
It is important to keep your lit candle away from any draft or direct air flow (I.e fan, window, heating and cooling) a wavering or over disrupted flame will cause the candle to burn poorly.
