Candle Care

At Jayne & Wick, I want you to get the most enjoyment, burn time, and beauty from every candle. Here's how to care for your candles for the cleanest burn and longest life.

For the Best Burn

  • First Burn: Burn your candle for at least 2–3 hours (or until the wax melts edge-to-edge). This prevents tunnelling and creates an even melt pool for future burns.
  • Trim the Wick: Before every lighting, trim the wick to 5mm (¼ inch). This keeps the flame steady, reduces soot, and helps your candle burn cleaner.
  • Burn Time: Never burn longer than 4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool and reset between burns.
  • Keep it Level: Always place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface.

🕯️ Safety First

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep away from drafts, curtains, children, and pets.
  • Stop burning when only 1cm (½ inch) of wax remains.
  • Use a candle snuffer or dip the wick gently into the wax to extinguish — blowing it out can create soot.

💛 Extra Tips for Natural Candles

  • Jayne & Wick candles are made with natural wax and pure essential oils, and perform best in a stable room temperature.
  • Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the scent.
  • After burning, gently wipe the rim with a paper towel while warm for a clean, beautiful look.

Follow these simple steps and your Jayne & Wick candle will reward you with a luxurious, even burn and maximum fragrance throw every time.
