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.
