Caring for Your My Wish Co. Dye-Free Soy Wax Candles

Taking good care of your My Wish Co. soy wax candles ensures you get the most enjoyment out of them. Here's how to keep them burning beautifully and safely:

Getting Started (The First Burn)

Allow your candle to burn long enough on the very first use so that the entire top layer of wax melts completely. This usually takes about 2 to 3 hours. Doing this prevents tunneling and helps the candle burn evenly all the way down.

Keeping It Burning Bright

  • Trim the wick: Before each time you light your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This reduces smoke, keeps the flame clean, and extends the candle’s life.

  • Burn in moderation: Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating and ensure even melting.

Putting It Out Safely

The best way to extinguish your candle is with a candle snuffer. If you don’t have one, gently blow it out, avoiding hot wax splatter. Always allow the wax to cool and solidify before relighting.

Important Safety Reminders

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

  • Keep candles away from flammable materials, drafts, and out of reach of children and pets.

  • Place candles on heat-resistant surfaces.

Storage Tips

Store your soy wax candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to preserve their fragrance and color.

By following these simple tips, your My Wish Co. candles will fill your home with warm, natural fragrance safely and beautifully.
