• Every wondered if there’s a way to get your candle to last a little longer? Well good news, we have 7 ways you can care for your candles to get as much as possible out of every Little Karma Co. Candle you own.

1. trim your wick

Always trim the wick to about 5mm before each burn. This helps prevent excessive soot, keeps the flame steady, and avoids overheating the wax.

2. let it melt evenly

Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface during the first burn. This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn for future uses.

3. burn in intervals

Avoid burning your candle for more than 3-4 hours at a time. Over-burning can cause the wick to mushroom or create uneven wax pools.

4. keep it clean

Remove any wick trimmings, matches, or debris from the wax to prevent uneven burning or hazards.

5. place it in the right spot

Burn candles on a flat, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, fans, or air conditioners. Moving air can cause the flame to flicker, leading to uneven burning.

6. snuff it out

Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame instead of blowing it out. This reduces smoke and helps maintain the wick’s shape.

7. store properly

Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discolouration and softening of the wax.
