Thank you for choosing Inspired Luxury Candles, Ltd.! We take pride in crafting high-quality candles made with organic soy-coconut wax and the finest grade essential oils. To ensure that you get the most out of your candles and enjoy a safe and pleasant experience, please follow these candle care instructions:

Before lighting: 

• Trim the wick: Before each use, trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch (0.6 cm) in length. This helps to maintain a clean, even burn and prevents excessive flickering or smoking.

During burning:

• Initial burn: Allow the candle to burn until a full melt pool forms across the surface (the melted wax reaches the edges of the container). This typically takes around 2-3 hours. This step is important to prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn throughout the lifetime of the candle. Burning time: We recommend burning your candle for no more than 3-4 hours at a time. This prevents overheating and helps to maximize the lifespan of the candle.
• Avoid drafts: Place the candle in an area away from drafts, such as open windows, fans, or air conditioning vents. Drafts can cause uneven burning, smoking, or the candle to extinguish prematurely.
• Safety first: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it away from flammable objects, children, and pets. Always use a heat-resistant surface or a candle holder to protect the surface the candle is placed on.

Extinguishing the candle: 

• Proper extinguishing: To extinguish the flame, use a snuffer or gently blow on the flame until it is out. Avoid blowing directly into the candle, as it may cause hot wax to splatter.
• Avoiding smoke: If smoking occurs during burning, extinguish the candle, trim the wick, and relight it. Smoking can be a sign that the wick is too long or the candle is in a drafty area.

General tips:

• Storage: Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or intense heat. This helps to maintain their quality and prevents any changes in texture or scent.
• First burn caution: During the initial burn, ensure that the candle is placed on a heat-resistant surface to avoid any potential damage to the surface it is placed on.
• Cleaning: If necessary, clean the container with mild soap and warm water once the candle has fully burned out and cooled down. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives.
