How to Care for Your Candles

Get the most out of your Lucy's Candles with these simple care tips:

First Burn

Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the container on the first burn. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the life of your candle.

Trim the Wick

Before each use, trim the wick to 1/4 inch. This helps prevent smoking and ensures a clean, even burn.

Burn Time

Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow it to cool completely before relighting.

Safety Tips

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended
  • Keep away from drafts, pets, and children
  • Place on a heat-resistant surface
  • Stop using when 1/2 inch of wax remains

Storage

Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their scent and appearance.
