Caring for Your Cedar Wood Wick Candles: Tips for a Perfect Burn Every Time

How to Care for Your Seasonal Soy Candles with Cedar Wood Wicks

  • Trim Regularly: Keep the cedar wood wick trimmed to about ⅛-¼ inch before each burn. This prevents the flame from getting too large and ensures a steady, clean burn.
  • Remove Charred Wood: After burning, gently snap off any blackened or charred pieces of the wick with your fingers or a wick trimmer. This helps the wick relight more easily.
  • Let It Burn Properly: Allow the candle to burn until the entire top layer of wax has melted (usually 2-4 hours). This prevents tunneling and extends the candle’s lifespan.
  • Avoid Overburning: Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent the wick from becoming unstable.
  • Store Properly: Keep the candle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or drafts, to protect the wood wick and wax.
