Candle Care

Soot Issues
- If you are experiencing excess soot from your candle:
- Make sure to trim your wicks and keep them trimmed regularly
- Please ensure that your candle is not being burned near a vent or fan.
- Make sure you are not burning your candle longer than the recommended time of 3-4 hours.
Wooden wicks don’t “mushroom” or “bloom” – basically, that means that they don’t create an ugly black ball on the top of the wick that lingers and smokes after burning for a while. Wooden wicks burn much cleaner, and while they don’t get the carbon build-up that needs to be trimmed off of cotton wicks, they will develop a slight amount of ash at the tip of the wick. The ash can be easily broken off when cool before relighting or cut using a wick trimmer. Sometimes, if there is too much ash build-up, you will notice the flame getting smaller, but once you remove it, the flame comes right back to life. Just be careful not to leave any debris in your candle and follow all of the standard candle burning safety guidelines. Happy burning!
