Candle care
Beeswax candles should be extinguished with a snuffer or by dipping the wax into the wax. Beeswax candles should not be burned inside a container that restricts air flow.
Taper Candles are maintenance free. They should burn drip free if kept away from drafts. There is no need to trim the wick.
Columns are low maintenance. Keep the wick trimmed to 1/4".
Pillar Candles need attention to burn efficiently. The wick should be trimmed to about 1/4" in length. Each time they are lit the candles should be burned long enough to soften the wax in the candle all the way to the edge (that can mean up to 2.5 hours for 4" wide pillars). Gently push the unmelted edges towards the centre to prevent the candle from tunnelling.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
