Candle Care Guide
At Reina Simple, we believe that proper candle care is essential to maximizing your enjoyment and ensuring the longevity of our handcrafted candles. To help you get the most out of your candle experience, we've put together this comprehensive candle care guide:
1. Trim the Wick: Before lighting your candle, always trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch to prevent excessive smoking and ensure a clean, even burn. This helps to minimize soot buildup and prolong the life of your candle.
2. Avoid Tunneling: To prevent tunneling, allow your candle to burn for at least 1-2 hours during each use, or until the wax pool reaches the edges of the container. This ensures that the entire surface of the candle melts evenly and prevents the formation of a tunnel down the center.
3. Burn Time: Never leave a burning candle unattended and always keep it out of reach of children and pets. For safety reasons, we recommend extinguishing your candle after 4 hours of continuous burning and allowing it to cool before relighting.
4. Safety Precautions: Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, and other heat sources. Always use a candle holder or tray to catch any dripping wax and avoid placing candles in high-traffic areas where they could be knocked over.
5. Extinguish Safely: When extinguishing your candle, use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to prevent hot wax from splattering. Never use water to extinguish a candle, as this can cause the wax to splatter and create a fire hazard.
6. Store Properly: Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This helps to preserve the fragrance and quality of the wax, ensuring that your candles burn cleanly and evenly every time.
7. Repurpose Containers: Once your candle has burned down, consider repurposing the container as a decorative vase, storage jar, or plant pot. Simply clean out any remaining wax and residue, and your container is ready for its new life!
