Candle Care Guide

Thank You for Choosing Candles By Twice

To ensure the best experience with your candle, follow these simple care and safety tips. Proper candle care extends burn time, maximizes fragrance throw, and keeps your home safe.

Part 1: Before the Burn

  • Trim the Wick

    Always trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn to prevent excessive flickering and soot buildup.

  • Place on a Heat-Resistant Surface

    Ensure your candle is on a stable, non-flammable surface away from drafts, curtains, or pets.

  • First Burn Matters

    Allow the wax to melt completely to the edges of the container during the first burn (about 2-3 hours) to prevent tunneling.

Part 2: While Burning

  • Never Leave Unattended

    Always keep burning candles within sight and away from anything flammable.

  • Keep Away from Pets & Children

    While our candles are pet and children safe put on a surface where little hands/paws cant access.

  • Limit Burn Time & Watch Wick

    Limit candle burning to 4 hours to prevent jar overheating. If the flame gets too high or smokes, extinguish, cool, trim wick, and relight.

Part 3: After You Burn

  • Extinguish Properly & Let Cool

    Utilize a candle snuffer or gently extinguish the flame to prevent wax splatter. Ensure the wax is fully hardened before relocating the candle.

  • Keep the Wax Clean

    Remove debris, wick trimmings, or matches from the melted wax to maintain a clean burn.

  • Reuse & Repurpose

    Once your candle has ½ inch of wax left, discontinue use. Clean out the jar and repurpose it for storage/decor or contact us using the form below for a candle refill / jar recycling.
