Candle Care Guide
Candle Care Guide
Get the most out of your Casa Candela candles with these simple care tips. Proper candle care ensures a clean, even burn and maximizes your 40+ hours of fragrance.
🔥 First Burn is Everything
Burn for 2-4 hours on the first use
The first burn sets the "memory" of your candle. Always burn until the wax melts completely to the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn every time.
✂️ Trim Your Wick
Trim to ¼ inch before each burn
A trimmed wick ensures:
- Cleaner, brighter flame
- Less soot and smoke
- Longer burn time
- Prevents mushrooming
Use wick trimmers or scissors. Trim when the wax is cool and solid.
⏰ Burn Time Guidelines
Minimum: 1 hour
Never burn for less than 1 hour or the wax won't melt evenly.
Maximum: 4 hours
Don't burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Let the candle cool for at least 2 hours before relighting.
🛡️ Safety First
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
- Keep away from drafts, vents, and fans
- Place on a heat-resistant surface
- Keep away from children and pets
- Stop using when ½ inch of wax remains
🧼 Cleaning & Storage
Remove dust: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth
Store properly: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Reuse your jar: Once finished, clean with hot soapy water and repurpose as a planter or storage container
💡 Troubleshooting
Tunneling? Burn longer on your next use to melt the wax to the edges.
Flickering flame? Trim the wick and move away from drafts.
Weak scent? Make sure you're burning in an appropriately sized room (our candles work best in rooms up to 300 sq ft).
