Essential care for your JELIs candles
To ensure you get the most out of your small-batch, hand-poured JELIs Candle Shop candle, follow these essential tips. Proper care not only enhances your candle's performance but also ensures a safer and more enjoyable experience.
Burn within sight
Always keep your burning candle within your line of sight. Never leave a lit candle unattended, especially if you step out of the room or go to sleep.
Keep away from flammable objects
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from anything that can catch fire, such as curtains, paper, or clothing.
Trim your wick
Before each burn, trim your wick to 1/8 to 1/4 inch. This prevents excessive smoking, soot buildup, and ensures a cleaner, more even burn.
Do not burn more than 4 hours
Limit your candle burning sessions to a maximum of 4 hours at a time. This helps prevent the wick from becoming too long and ensures the wax pool melts evenly.
Keep away from children and pets
Always keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental burns or tip-overs.
Avoid common mistakes
Never burn your candle for too long, or let it burn all the way to the bottom. Avoid burning it in a drafty spot, which can cause uneven burning and tunneling.
