CANDLE CARE 101: Follow These 4 Easy Steps To Make Sure You Get The Most Out Of Your FTN Candles.

Step 01 : Trim Your Wick

Prior to each lighting, trim the wick to 1/4" for a clean and smoke free burn. 

Also, always sit your candle on top of its lid to protect the surface in which the candle is burning on.

Step 02 : Your First Burn

On your first light, allow the entire surface of wax to melt. Minimum of 3 hours. There will be some "wax wall hanging," but that's normal.

After the first burn with wax melted to the edge of candle vessel, never let it burn for more than 4 hours. Discontinue use when there's only 1/4" wax left in the vessel.

Step 03 : Center Your Wick

Ensure your wick is centered.

After each burn, adjust the wick while the wax is molten.

Step 04 : Upcycle Your Vessel

When 1/4" to 1/2" of wax is left in your candle, it's time to discontinue use and upcycle the vessel. 

Always remove the remaining wax. 

Pro cleaning tip - put the candle in the freezer until the wax is frozen, then said wax should pop out easily.
