Candle Care Tips from Karo Jene

At Karo Jene, we believe candles are more than just decorative items; they create cozy, relaxing spaces filled with delightful scents. To get the best experience from your candles and ensure they last longer, here are essential care tips to keep in mind.

1. Trim the Wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This simple step helps maintain a steady flame, minimizes smoke, and prevents soot from forming on the jar. A properly trimmed wick also extends the life of your candle.

2. First Burn Matters
The first time you light your candle, let it burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the jar, typically about 2 to 3 hours. This prevents tunneling, ensuring your candle burns evenly every time.

3. Burn Wisely
Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allowing it to cool and reset before the next burn helps maintain the fragrance quality and prevents overheating.

4. Keep It Safe
Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials, drafts, and areas accessible to pets and children. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

5. Extinguish with Care
To extinguish the candle, use a snuffer or gently blow it out. Avoid splattering wax by not blowing forcefully. This keeps your jar clean and smoke-free.

6. Maintain a Clean Jar
If soot builds up on the jar, simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth when the candle is cool. Keeping the jar clean helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of your candle.

7. Repurpose the Jar
Once your candle has burned down completely, clean out the jar and give it a new life. Use it as a storage container for small items, a planter, or a decorative piece.

8. Store Properly
Keep your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and maintain their fragrance.
