Candle Burning Tips
Let's take the best care of your new Sweet Water Decor candles!
- Find a safe place to burn your candle. Keep it away from all objects, people, pets, wind drafts, etc.
- Trim your wick to 1/4" (you can use our candle scissors here!)
- Light your candle away from a draft
- Candle wax has a memory. Each time you burn your candles, ensure the wax melts all the way to the edge each time in order to have a clean, even burn.
- Keep debris away from the wax pool.
- Burn for up to 4 hours at a time.
- Do not burn your candle with less than 1/2" of wax remaining. Lighting a candle without enough wax can cause the jar to overheat.
- When you are finished burning, we recommend using our wick dipper or snuffer (and not blowing out to loose all the scent and replacing it with smoke).
- Remember: Always burn your candle within sight and away from children and pets.
- Let your candle cool completely before touching / moving.
- Next time you go to light your candle, make sure the wick is trimmed to 1/4" and light with one of our matches.
