Candle Care & Safety

The Scented Mood, LLC is not responsible for candle misuse.

Please read before use of any candle or wax melt product.

 

Cotton Wick Care

• Only burn candle for 4 hours at a time so that your candle can create a “memory” and prevent tunneling.

• Before each burn cycle, be sure to trim the wick to ¼ inch before lighting.

• Try not to burn less than 3 ½ - 4 hours to prevent tunneling which can cause your candle not to give off the best performance.

• When wax reaches to 1/2 inch from the bottom, please discontinue use.

 

Wooden Wick Care

• Wooden wicks are completely different than regular cotton wicks; therefore, they burn differently.

• Make sure you trim the wick before lighting, (a wick trimmer will give the best trim, nail clippers will do trick too).

• Sometimes, wooden wicks can be tricky to light on the first burn.

• Light the wick for at least 5-10 seconds so that it can catch a flame.

• If the flame happens to distinguish right after lighting it for the first time, you may need to trim it a little lower.

• Burn the candle for at least 3 ½ to 4 hours so that a full melt pool is created and reached the sides of the jar (this is for optimal fragrance performance).

• Burn in cycles of 4 hours and always trim off the charred wick before lighting another cycle.

• Try not to burn less than 3 ½ - 4 hours to prevent tunneling which can cause your candle not to give off the best performance.

• Candles have a “memory,” so if you burn it right the first time, it will give you the most excellent performance every time.

• When wax reaches to 1/2 inch from the bottom, please discontinue use.

​
