How to burn soy candles for optimal enjoyment

 

Welcome to the world of soy candles! Soy candles are a natural and eco-friendly way to add ambiance and fragrance to your home. To ensure you get the most out of your soy candle experience, follow these simple burning instructions:


Key Benefits of Soy Candles:

  • Clean Burning: Soy wax is a natural, renewable resource that burns cleaner than paraffin wax, producing less soot and toxins.
  • Longer Burn Time: Soy candles tend to burn slower and more evenly, providing a longer-lasting fragrance.
  • Biodegradable: Soy wax is biodegradable and easy to clean up with soap and water.
  • Excellent Scent Throw: Soy wax holds fragrance well, allowing for a strong and consistent scent throw.


Step-by-Step Burning Instructions:

  • Trim the Wick: Before each burn, trim the wick to ¼ inch. This will prevent a large, smoky flame and ensure a clean, even burn.
  • First Burn is Crucial: The first time you light your soy candle, allow it to burn until the entire surface of the wax has melted. This creates a "memory ring" and prevents tunneling in future burns.
  • Burn Time: For optimal performance, burn your soy candle for 3-4 hours at a time. This will allow the wax to melt evenly and release its fragrance without overheating.
  • Keep Away from Drafts: Place your soy candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, and out of reach of children and pets.
  • Extinguish Safely: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. Do not blow it out, as this can cause the wick to smoke and the wax to splatter.
  • Let it Cool: Allow the soy candle to cool completely before relighting or moving it.
  • Reuse and Recycle: Once your soy candle has burned to the bottom, clean out the remaining wax and reuse the container. Soy wax is biodegradable and easily cleans up with soap and water.


Safety Precautions:

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep candles away from flammable materials.
  • Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
  • Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
  • Do not burn candles for more than 4 hours at a time.
  • Always trim the wick before lighting.


Additional Tips:

  • To maximize the scent throw, burn your soy candle in a small to medium-sized room.
  • Store your soy candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Enjoy the relaxing ambiance and delightful fragrance of your soy candle!
