Candle Care tips - How to make your candle last longer

At RISE the Candle Studio, we believe in creating beautiful, long-lasting candles that bring joy to your life. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your candles and extend their burn time:

  1. Trim the Wick
    Always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting. This helps create a smaller flame, which reduces soot and prevents the candle from burning too quickly.
  2. Burn in 3-Hour Intervals
    Allow your candle to burn for 3 hours at a time. This helps the wax pool evenly across the surface, preventing tunneling and ensuring an even burn.
  3. Keep Away from Drafts
    Place your candle in a draft-free area. Drafts can cause uneven burning and soot buildup, which can shorten the life of your candle.
  4. Store Properly
    Keep your candle in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can cause the wax to soften and the fragrance to fade.
  5. Use a Candle Snuffer
    Instead of blowing out your candle, use a candle snuffer. This prevents wax from splattering and helps maintain the integrity of the wick for future burns.
  6. Choose Quality Candles
    Invest in high-quality candles made with natural soy wax, like those from RISE the Candle Studio. Quality candles burn longer and more evenly than cheaper alternatives.

By following these simple tips, you can enjoy your candles longer and make the most of their beautiful scents. Thank you for supporting a local business and for choosing RISE the Candle Studio for your candle needs!
