Candle care guide

Welcome to your essential guide to candle care from Made With Purpose Company. Our goal is to help you enjoy our candles safely and ensure they last as long as possible, filling your space with beautiful aromas.

The essential wick trim

The single most important tip for candle care is to trim your wick correctly. Before each burn, ensure your wick is trimmed to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm). This promotes a clean, even burn, prevents soot buildup, and helps maintain a consistent flame height, extending the life of your candle and enhancing its scent throw.

Avoid tunneling

One common mistake is not allowing the candle to burn long enough during its first use. For the initial burn, let your candle melt all the way to the edges of the container. This creates a full melt pool and prevents tunneling, which can significantly reduce the candle's lifespan and fragrance performance. If a candle tunnels on the first burn, it will likely continue to do so for its entire life.

Safety first for lasting enjoyment

Proper candle care isn't just about longevity; it's also about safety. Always burn candles on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, flammable materials, and out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Following these simple safety guidelines ensures a worry-free and enjoyable candle experience every time.
