Wooden Wick and Candle Care
Some basic steps to help ensure you achieve the optimum burn with your M | H Candle are as follows:
MOST IMPORTANT!!!!!
- Before Each Burn! run your fingers across the top of the wick or use a wick trimmer to trim the wick. You want to have charred portion from last burn removed completly. Before you relight the candle, remove all wick trimmings and debris.
- To ensure an even burn, light the wick across the candle as opposed to at only one end.
- Let the candle burn until the wax melts out to the edges of the container. You may have to let it burn anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Even if the flame appears to burn low at times, it will continue to burn. Ideally, a 3 to 4 hour burn time is recommended.
- Protect the candle from areas where breezes, ceiling fans, and drafts are present.
- Do not move or handle the candle when it is burning.
- Maintain the wick and a length of between 1/8 and 1/4 inch. If the height of the flame exceeds 1 ½ inches or if the candle starts to smoke, blow out the candle, let the wax and wick cool down. Then, softly run your fingers across the top of the wick to trim it. Before you relight the candle, remove all wick trimmings.
