Introduction
The beauty of a luxury candle goes beyond its scent—it’s an experience. Proper care ensures a cleaner burn, longer life, and maximum fragrance throw. Here’s everything you need to know to get the most out of your Bellini Candle Co. candles.
The First Burn: Setting the Foundation
- The first burn is the most important!
- Always burn until the wax melts evenly across the surface to prevent tunneling.
- This can take 2–4 hours, depending on the candle’s size.
Trim the Wick for a Clean Burn
- Always trim your wooden wick to 1/8 inch before each burn. This will help prevent excessive smoke, soot, and uneven burning.
- Use a wick trimmer for precision. If you don’t have a wick trimmer, simply pinch off the old char from the tip of the wooden wick before relighting.
Burn Time Matters
- Keep burns between 2–4 hours to prevent overheating.
- Avoid burning candles for more than 4 hours at a time.
Keep Your Candle Clean
- Remove wick trimmings and debris from the wax pool.
- Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and scent loss.
Extinguish with Care
- Use a candle snuffer instead of blowing it out to reduce smoke and wax splatter.
Reaching the End: When to Stop Burning
- Stop burning when only ½ inch of wax remains to prevent glass overheating and potential cracking.
- Repurpose your candle jars—ideas include planters, makeup brush organizers, or trinket jar.
Conclusion
A little candle care goes a long way in preserving the luxury experience. Following these tips will ensure your Bellini Candle Co. candles burn beautifully and last as long as possible.
