Candle Care Guide: 

How to Burn Your Candle the Right Way

A well-made candle deserves proper care. Following a few simple steps will help your Lumory Candles burn cleaner, last longer, and smell better—while keeping your space safe and beautiful.

Trim the Wick Before Every Burn

Always trim your wick to about 5 mm (¼ inch) before lighting.
This prevents soot, uneven burning, and oversized flames.

Why it matters:

• Cleaner burn
  
  

• Stronger, smoother fragrance
  
  

• Longer candle life
  
  

Let the Wax Melt Edge to Edge

On the first burn, allow the wax to melt fully across the surface. This usually takes 1–3 hours, depending on candle size.

Why it matters:

• Prevents tunneling
  
  

• Ensures even burning every time
  
  

• Maximizes your candle’s lifespan
  
  

Burn for the Right Amount of Time

Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
Let the wax cool completely before relighting.

Why it matters:

• Protects the wick
  
  

• Maintains fragrance quality
  
  

• Keeps the flame steady and safe
  
  

Keep Away from Drafts

Burn your candle in a still area, away from open windows, fans, or air vents.

Why it matters:

• Prevents flickering
  
  

• Reduces smoke and soot
  
  

• Promotes an even melt pool
  
  

Extinguish with Care

Avoid blowing out your candle. Instead, use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the wax and straighten it back up.

Why it matters:

• No smoke smell
  
  

• Wick stays centered
  
  

• Cleaner relight
  
  

Store Candles Properly

Store your eco-friendly candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Why it matters:

• Preserves wax quality
  
  

• Protects fragrance oils
  
  

• Keeps candles looking new
