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.
