Uncommon Scents Candle Care and Burning Guide

Following are a few simple steps to make sure you're getting the
most out of your favorite candle!

1. Always allow your candle to completely liquefy across
the top before blowing it out to avoid tunneling
a. Think of it this way — candles have a memory. Wherever it stops burning the first time, it will continue to stop there every time you burn it causing it to tunnel if it has not liquefied all the way across.

2. Always keep your wick trimmed to 1/4”
a. Be sure to trim your wick before the first burn if it
longer than 1/4”.

3. Do not drop debris, like matches or wick trimmings, into the wax
a. This can not only impact the safety of the candle but
also the way it burns and looks.

4. Do not place your burning candle on sensitive or uneven surfaces
a. It goes without saying however, never leave your
burning candle unattended.

5. Use the provided lid for snuffing out your candle.

6. Discontinue burning your candle when about 1/2” of wax remains
a. It’s normal and necessary to have a little wax leftover
so that you don’t expose the bottom of the wick.

7. Do not attempt to eat or drink products
a. Products are intended for the sole purpose of candle burning enjoyment

8. Keep all products out of reach of small children and animals
