Importance of Candle Care

Candle care is just as important as burning and making sure you get the beautiful aroma of scent. Kaylee's Kandles curates 100% soy wax candles and wax melts. Just like any other natural product, it needs a little TLC. Soy wax is renewable, eco-friendly, and known for its slower burn time. However, because soy is softer and has a lower melting point, how you treat your candle can dramatically affect its performance. If you're burning soy wax candles, proper candle care isn’t just recommended—it’s essential for a safe, clean, and long-lasting burn.

One of the most overlooked (yet most important) aspects of candle care? Trimming the wick.

Some candles, (not just Kaylee's Kandles) need trimming of the wick before each burn to provide a clean, smooth, and even burn. Before each burn, you should trim your wick by about ¼ inch (6 mm). 

The reason why trimming your wick matters: 

• Trimming your wick reduces soot and smoke
• Prevents wick mushrooming 
• Extends candle life
• improves scent throw

To conclude, make sure your candle reaches a full melt pool, keep away from drafts, carefully put out candle when finished, and store in a cool, dark place to reach the full life of your candle. 

These tips are good for any soy wax candle you have!
