Welcome to the world of Owl Creek Candles, where every flame tells a story of craftsmanship and elegance. Beyond their enchanting fragrances, our handcrafted candles require a little care to ensure they illuminate your space for hours of bliss. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the art of candle care, ensuring your Owl Creek candles burn bright and beautiful every time.
1. Choosing the Right Spot: Placement matters! Keep your candles away from drafts to avoid uneven burning and prevent soot buildup. Opt for a stable surface, away from curtains or any flammable materials. For an even melt, let the candle burn until the entire surface becomes a pool of wax.
2. Trim Those Wicks: Before each use, trim your candle wick to about 1/4 inch. This prevents black soot and ensures a steady, clean burn. A wick trimmer is an excellent investment for maintaining the perfect length.
3. Patience is a Virtue: Practice patience during the first burn. Allow your Owl Creek candle to create a full melt pool across the top layer. This sets the stage for consistent burning in the future.
4. Extinguish with Care: Instead of blowing out the flame, consider using a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the wax and then straighten it. This minimizes smoke and preserves the candle's fragrance.
5. Store Safely: When not in use, store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This prevents discoloration and maintains the integrity of the fragrance.
6. Embrace Rotation: To ensure even burning, rotate your candles periodically. This prevents tunneling and maximizes the lifespan of your favorite scents.
7. Repurposing Excess Wax: Got leftover wax? Don't let it go to waste! Consider melting the remnants to create wax melts or use the residual fragrance for a DIY potpourri.
Conclusion: Candle care is an art that enhances the enchantment of Owl Creek Candles. By adopting these simple practices, you'll not only prolong the life of your candles but also elevate the ambiance of your space. Illuminate your moments with care, and let Owl Creek Candles be the guiding light in your journey of tranquility and style. Happy candle-burning!
