A Guide to Care and Enjoyment
Candles bring a special ambiance to any space—whether it’s the soothing flicker of a flame or the gentle release of a favorite scent. At lukiescandles.com, we’re passionate about crafting soy candles, diffusers, and more to elevate your everyday moments. To help you get the most out of your candles, here’s a quick guide to caring for them.
First, the burn: always trim your wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting. This keeps the flame steady and prevents excess soot. For your initial burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the container—usually 2-3 hours for soy candles. This creates an even “memory burn” and ensures no wax goes to waste.
Next, safety and longevity: never leave a candle unattended, and keep it away from drafts, pets, or anything flammable. To maximize burn time, limit sessions to 3-4 hours—your candle will thank you with a longer life. When extinguishing, use a snuffer or dip the wick into the wax (then straighten it) to avoid smoke.
Finally, storage matters. Keep your candles in a cool, dark place to preserve their scent and color. Dust off the top between uses for a clean burn every time.
With a little care, your LukiesCandles soy candle can fill your home with warmth and fragrance for hours on end. Light it up, unwind, and enjoy the glow!
