Wood Wick Care Tips and Tricks
How Should I Maintain My Candle?
To ensure the best experience with your Forgetful Candles, follow these care tips:
1. **Trim the Wick:** Before each lighting, trim your wooden wick to a length between 1/8 to 1/4 inch. This promotes a steady flame and optimal burn time.
2. **Remove Ash:** After the candle has cooled completely, gently remove any charred wood from previous burns. This minimizes soot, controls fragrance release, and encourages an even melt pool.
3. **Burn Time:** For the first burn, allow the wax to melt across the entire surface to prevent tunneling and to promote an even burn for the life of the candle.
4. **Storage:** Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality and fragrance.
