Candle Care and Safety

To get the most out of your Hope and Beyond candles — and keep your space safe and serene!

✨ Before You Light

Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn to prevent soot and uneven flames.

Place candle on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children, and pets.

Keep the wax pool clean — free of matches, wick trimmings, and debris.

🔥 While It’s Burning

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Burn for 2–4 hours at a time to allow an even wax pool to form.

Keep candles at least 3 inches apart when burning more than one.

Avoid moving the candle while the wax is liquid.

🧊 When You’re Done

Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame — avoid splashing wax.

Let wax cool completely before relighting, touching, or moving.

Stop using the candle when ½ inch of wax remains to prevent heat damage to surfaces.

💛 Bonus Tips for Longevity

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

First burn = most important! Let the wax melt edge-to-edge to prevent tunneling.

Reuse your jars! Clean out remaining wax and re-purpose as storage or decor.
