Proper candle care ensures a longer burn time and a better fragrance experience. Always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting to prevent soot and uneven burning. Allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during each use, which helps avoid tunneling and maximizes the candle's lifespan. Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and warping. When not in use, cover them to keep dust away. If your candle has a strong scent, consider placing it in a well-ventilated area to enhance the fragrance without overwhelming the space.
