Proper candle care makes candles burn cleaner, last longer and look better. Just by following these four tips below, you can extend the life of your candle by 30%!

In addition to these tips, never burn your candle if there is less than 1/2" of wax remaining in the vessel. This Increases the fire hazard as the glass could overheat and crack. It is also wise to never leave your candle unattended or near anything flammable.

Cheers to longer-lasting, safe candles!
