CANDLE CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Following these care instructions will help you get the best performance from your Dakota Bleu & Co soy candles and ensure a safe and enjoyable burning experience
​
-
Initial Burn:
-
When lighting your Dakota Bleu & Co soy candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the wax melts across the entire surface. This process ensures that your candle burns evenly and prevents tunneling.
-
Ideally, let the candle burn for 2-3 hours during the initial lighting to achieve a full melt pool.
-
-
Trim the Wick:
-
Before each lighting, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch. Trimming the wick helps to prevent excessive smoking, soot, and ensures a cleaner burn.
-
Keep the wick centered and upright to promote an even burn and to prevent the candle from tipping over.
-
-
Burn Time:
-
Do not burn your soy candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Excessive burning can cause the candle to overheat and may lead to the glass container breaking.
-
Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting. This helps to prolong the life of your candle and prevents overheating.
-
-
Safety Precautions:
-
Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable objects.
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish the candle if you leave the room or go to sleep.
-
Keep the wax pool free of debris, such as matches or wick trimmings, to prevent flare-ups.
-
-
Extinguishing the Candle:
-
To extinguish your soy candle, use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid using water to extinguish the candle, as this can cause splattering and may damage the wick.
-
-
Storage:
-
Store your Dakota Bleu & Co soy candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Prolonged exposure to heat can cause the candle to soften or melt.
-
Keep the candle lid securely closed when not in use to preserve the fragrance and prevent dust buildup.
-
-
Maintaining the Candle:
-
If the candle's wax becomes discolored or develops a film, gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth or tissue. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the candle.
-
With proper care and maintenance, your Dakota Bleu & Co soy candle will provide hours of delightful fragrance and ambiance.
