Candle Care

A little care goes a long way. Follow these simple steps to burn your candle evenly, make it last longer, and keep it clean. From the first glow to every burn after, these easy tips ensure a safe, effortless, and beautiful candle experience.

Keep your flames burning longer

  • 1

    Trim the Wick

    Trim the wick to about 1/4" before lighting to ensure a clean, controlled flame and prevent mushrooming and soot. Do this before every use to help your candle last longer and smell fresh every time, ensuring an even burn.

    Prep the Surface

    Place the candle on a stable, heat resistant surface. This will also help prevent possible heat damage to counters or table surfaces, and prevent the glass containers from cracking or breaking.

    Let the Wax Melt to the Edge

    Let the candle burn until the wax melts all the way to the edge of the container (this might take a few hours, depending on the size). This will help avoid tunneling which can shorten the life of your candle. Never burn more than 4 hours at a time.

    Burn within Sight

    NEVER leave a burning candle unattended or lit while sleeping and keep away from drafts or kids - safety first for a stress-free candle experience. Also, the glass vessel will become hot from the flame and hot wax. Avoid moving or touching candle while it's burning.

    Re-use FORME+HUE Glass Vessels

    Recycle your candle. The glass container can be reused as you please. Clean the remaining wax with hot water and fill with a FORME+HUE Candle Refill or turn it into a container for pens or accessories.
