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.
