Caring for soy candles is very similar to caring for paraffin wax candles. Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface and trim your wicks to 1/4" before lighting (please do not assume that the wick is the proper length when you first light your candle - however, it is our goal to provide candles with the wicks perfectly trimmed and ready to light when you receive them). To ensure even burning, always try to burn your candles at least one hour for every inch in diameter. For example, if you have a candle that is 4" in diameter, you want to burn it for approximately 4 hrs., or at least until the entire top layer of your candle has liquified. Keep candle away from drafts caused by vents or fans.
