Candle care
Four habits that decide how long it lasts-
Trim the wick
About 5 mm before every burn. A long wick makes a tall flame, and a tall flame smokes the glass.
-
Let the first burn finish
Two to three hours, until the melted wax reaches the edge. Wax remembers its first pool — cut it short and it tunnels for good.
-
Stop at four hours
Longer and the glass gets hot and the scent flattens. Retire the candle when about 1 cm of wax is left.
-
Keep the jar
Hot soapy water lifts the last of the wax — soy softens at a much lower temperature than paraffin. Then it is a pot, a tumbler, a planter.
- Trim the wick to about 5 mm before every burn.
- First burn: let the pool reach the edge, roughly two to three hours.
- Never burn for more than four hours at a stretch, and stop at 1 cm of wax.
- Keep it in sight, on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, children and pets.
