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

Extend the life and beauty of your My Wish Co. soy candles with these simple care tips. Proper candle care ensures a clean, even burn and fills your space with lasting fragrance — safely and sustainably.


✨ Getting Started: The First Burn

When you light your candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the entire top layer of wax melts evenly — usually about 2–3 hours.
This helps prevent tunneling, so your soy wax candle burns cleanly and evenly from start to finish.


🔥 Keeping Your Candle Burning Bright

Trim the wick: Before each burn, trim your cotton wick to about ¼ inch. This helps reduce smoke, keeps your flame steady, and extends your candle’s life.

Burn in moderation: For best results, burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time. This prevents overheating and helps your soy wax melt evenly.


🌿 Putting It Out Safely

Use a candle snuffer to gently extinguish the flame without splattering wax. If you don’t have one, blow it out carefully and let the wax cool completely before relighting.


⚠️ Candle Safety Tips

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

  • Keep candles away from drafts, flammable items, pets, and children.

  • Always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.


🕯️ Storage & Longevity

Store your soy wax candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat. This helps preserve their natural fragrance, color, and smooth finish.


💛 Enjoy the Glow
