Candle Care Guide
Candle Care Guide
At Dari Candles & Decor, we take pride in crafting premium, handcrafted candles designed to elevate your space. To ensure the best experience with your candle, please follow the care instructions outlined below.
1. Decorative Candles
Our decorative candles are designed as aesthetic pieces to complement your home. If you choose to light them, we advise the following guidelines:
-
Burn Time: To maximize the lifespan of your candle, it is recommended to burn your decorative candle for no longer than 2 hours at a time.
-
Wax Drip: Our candles will drip when you burn them. Always place your candle on a tray or dish to catch any wax drips.
-
Wick Maintenance: After each burn, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch to prevent the flame from becoming too large, which could cause excessive smoke. Always allow the candle to cool before trimming the wick.
-
Placement & Handling: Keep your decorative candle away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as prolonged exposure to heat can cause discoloration. Always place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to avoid potential damage to surfaces.
-
Heat & Light: While our candles are crafted with high-quality materials, both wax and fragrances are sensitive to temperature and light. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources may cause discoloration. To preserve the candle’s appearance and fragrance, always place your decorative candle away from direct sunlight and heat.
-
Safety: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Ensure the candle is out of reach of children, pets, drafts, or any flammable objects.
2. Container Candles
Our container candles are meticulously crafted to provide both style and optimal performance. These candles are designed for use within their container and should not be removed or relocated once lit. Follow these care instructions to maintain their best quality:
-
Burn Time: Container candles should be burned for no longer than 4 hours per session. It is essential to allow the candle to burn for at least 1 hour on the first use to form a complete melt pool, ensuring even burning across the surface.
-
Wick Maintenance: Regularly trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use to ensure an even burn. This helps prevent excessive soot, smoke, and keeps the flame at a controlled level.
-
Temperature Control: Container candles are best enjoyed when placed in areas that are not exposed to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. Proper placement ensures optimal scent throw and extended burn time.
-
Safety: Always burn container candles on a flat, heat-resistant surface and never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep away from flammable materials and avoid placing candles near drafts.
3. Wax Melts
Wax melts offer a flame-free, convenient way to enjoy fragrance in your home. Please adhere to the following instructions for safe and effective use:
-
Wax Warmer Use: Always use a wax melt with an appropriate wax warmer. Do not attempt to use wax melts in any device that is not designed for melting wax.
-
Melting Duration: Do not overheat the wax melts. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for melt time to avoid overuse or overheating.
-
Surface Safety: Ensure the wax melt warmer is placed on a flat, heat-resistant surface and away from flammable materials.
-
Safety: Never leave a wax melt warmer unattended. Always ensure it is out of reach of children and pets while in use.
