Care & Instructions
Follow these tips, to keep your concrete candle burning longer and safer while keeping the vessel in mint condition.
Concrete Care
Avoid contact with other objects
To preserve the integrity and appearance of your candle, avoid contact with other objects, as this may cause permanent scratches.
Allow the Candle to Cool
If the candle has been used, let it cool completely before cleaning. This prevents any hot wax from spilling or causing damage.
Dusting
Use a soft cloth or microfiber towel to remove any dust or debris from the surface of the concrete. Avoid using anything abrasive to prevent scratches.
Light Cleaning
Dampen a soft cloth with water and gently wipe the surface, being careful not to saturate or scratch it.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Never use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or affect the color of the concrete.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
To preserve the color and integrity of your concrete candle, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. The UV rays can cause fading or discoloration over time.
Candle Care
First Burn is Important!
Burn the candle until the wax pool reaches the jar's edge. This prevents tunneling and ensures the wax melts evenly across the surface. Do not burn for more than 3 hours.
Trim the Wick Regularly
Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This ensures a cleaner burn, reduces soot buildup, and prevents the flame from becoming too tall or flickering excessively.
Extinguish Properly
Extinguish Properly- Use a candle snuffer to put out the flame. Blowing it out can cause wax to splatter. If you don't have a snuffer, blow out the candle gently.
Store Properly
Keep your candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Sunlight can cause the color to fade or the wax to soften.
Keep the Candle Clean
Wipe away any dust or debris from the top of the candle before lighting it. This ensures a clean and even burn.
Don't Leave Unattended
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from flammable materials or children and pets.
