Soy Candle Care Guide
Soy wax has a "memory." With just a few simple habits, you can enjoy a crystal-clear flame, complete wax utilization, and maximum fragrance throw from your That Wick Girl candle.
The All-Important First Burn
Burn until the melt pool reaches the entire perimeter of the jar (usually 2-3 hours). This prevents wax tunneling and ensures a smooth, even surface for all future burns.
Trim That Wick to 1/4 Inch
Before relighting every single time, trim your cotton wick to 1/4 inch (or pinch off the burnt wood wick ash). This prevents soot, keeps the flame gentle, and prolongs burn time.
Mind the 4-Hour Ceiling
Never burn candles for more than 4 consecutive hours. Give the glass and wax time to cool down before relighting to preserve delicate fragrance oils.
Safe Surface & Repurposing
Always place on a heat-resistant tray away from drafts, kids, and pets. Once 1/2 inch of wax remains, soak the jar in warm water and repurpose as a brush holder or planter!
Burning Sculpted Mould Candles
Our decorative pillar and bubble moulds are beautiful standalone artistic objects. If you choose to burn them:
- Always use a dish or tray: Free-standing candles naturally drip wax as they melt. Place on a ceramic, marble, or glass coaster.
- Short burns work best: Burn in 1 to 2 hour intervals to maintain the sculpture's structural beauty as long as possible.
- Keep unlit as home décor: Even when unlit, the infused essential oils emit a gentle cold throw in small spaces.
