1. Trim the wick properly Before lighting the candle, make sure to trim the wick to 1/8 inch. This will help prevent the wick from mushrooming and ensure a clean burn. You can use a wick trimmer or scissors to trim the wick.
2. Burn the candle for long enough When you light your wooden wick candle, make sure to let it burn long enough to create a full melt pool. This means that the wax has melted all the way to the edges of the container. This will prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn.
3. Keep the wax pool clean After burning the candle, make sure to remove any debris or trimmings from the wax pool. This will help prevent the wick from clogging and ensure a clean burn.
4. Use a snuffer to extinguish the flame Avoid blowing out the candle as this can cause the wick to become misshapen. Instead, use a snuffer to extinguish the flame. This will help prevent the wick from smoking and ensure a longer burn time.
By following these simple tips, you can enjoy the beauty and warmth of your wooden wick candles for longer. Remember to always practice candle safety and never leave a burning candle unattended.
Happy burning!
