Candle Care & Safety Tips

We pride ourselves in helping you enjoy every candle that you buy from Allkindascentz.com by sharing with you some very important candle Care tips which in fact can help you achieve a clean burn everytime and prolong the life of your candle.

All of our wood wick candles include care and lighting instructions on the bottom of the candle and also inside of the candle box.  

Candles add a fragrant enhancement to living and work spaces and are safe to enjoy, but we encourage care and attention to the following guidelines:

1. Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room and on a heat-resistant surface.
2. Do not leave a burning candle unattended.
3. Avoid drafts, vents, ceiling fans or other moving air pathways to encourage even burning and minimize smoke or a flickering wick.
4. Never touch a burning candle or move a candle when the wax is liquid.
5. Never extinguish candles with water.
6. Make sure a candle is completely extinguished before leaving the room.
7. Keep candles out of the reach of small children and pets.
8. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire.

Before Burning Your Candle:
Always trim your wick to 1/8” - 1/4” before lighting. Every time your candle will burn longer, cleaner and more evenly.

While Burning Your Candle: 

Allow the candle to create a full melted wax pool across the entire candle. This will ensure even burning and maximum fragrance release for the life of your candle and is typically achieved within 1- 2 hours.
For subsequent lightings we recommend a burn time of 3-4 hours, fully melting the wax across the top each time. If you like to leave a candle burning for an extended time, we strongly recommend extinguishing the flame, trimming the wick and relighting every 3-4 hours. This will prolong the burn time and reduce the possibility of excess carbon buildup on the wick tip.
If your wick begins smoking or flickering excessively, extinguish the flame and trim the wick – then relight the candle.
Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.

After Burning Your Candle:
Use caution when extinguishing your candle;  it is best to snuff it out instead of blowing out your candle.
Do not move candle until the wax is cooled and set. Use caution as containers can be hot to the touch.
When there is 1/4 inch of wax remaining, that candle is finished!  Our wax is very soft, so it's very easy to clean out the container and reuse.

Thank you and Enjoy your candles!
