Using Of Yours Candles

Wooden wicks are a bit different from a traditional cotton wick- they burn longer, cleaner, and have a cozy crackling ambiance. but they do require a bit of extra care. here are our tips and tricks to get the most out an Of Yours candle:

  1. Always trim your wick before each use, removing all charred wood from previous burns. if you don’t, the wick may not stay lit long enough to fuel the flame, causing it to extinguish itself. The method I use is to lightly chip off the charred wood between my index finger and thumb before every use.

  2. Make sure to allow the wax to melt across the entire diameter of your candle on the first burn- this helps prevent tunneling, which can impact how well the candle burns.

These two simple tips will help your candle burn clean and long for the entire life of your wooden wick candle.

General Candle Care Tips

Safe burning tips:

Keep your burning candle in sight and away from drafts. Always place it on a flat, heat-resistant surface when lit. Keep the candle away from children, pets, materials that can catch fire, and other heat sources.

Never move your candle while it is burning or still hot. Only move it once the flame is extinguished and the wax has cooled. Pouring or removing liquid wax from the vessel may cause the wick to extinguish and affect the future burn quality of the candle.
