Candle Care

Here at VAKANSE CANDLE CO., we aim to bring joy and contentment to your space by filling it up with inspiring, aromatic notes conducive to peace and relaxation.  Remember to always follow the candle care tips below (DO's & DON'Ts) whenever your candle is in use.

 

DO's

  1. When using your candle for the first time, leave it to burn for 3-4 hours, until all of the wax on the surface has become liquid.
  2. Trim your candle's wooden wick to 3/16" before each burn to ensure a steady, soot-free flame. A pair of scissors or wick trimmers are recommended, though you should be able to trim the wooden wick with your fingers using a small piece of tissue to break off the burnt wood.
  3. Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, and any debris at all time.
  4. Extinguish a candle is it smokes, flickers, or if the flame becomes too high.  These are signs that the candle is not burning properly and the flame isn't controlled.  Let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check the space for drafts before re-lighting.
  5. To maximize scent throw, burn the candle in its desired space for 30 minutes with the door(s) closed.  Open doors and windows will disperse the candle's scent.
  6. Burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time.
  7. If you've created a large wax pool during your burn, use a snuffer or blow the candle out VERY gently to avoid splattering the hot wax!
  8. Wait until the flame is completely extinguished and clear of smoke before replacing your candle's lid. 

DON'Ts

  1. Never leave a burning candle unattended.  Lit candles should be in sight at all times!
  2. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire, such as curtains, books, bedding, loose papers, fabric, drapes, decorations, etc.
  3. Don't burn candles near drafts: open windows, A/C units, vents, fans, etc.
  4. Keep candles out of the reach of pets & children.
  5. Don't burn your candle for more than 3 hours at a time.
