How to Make Your Candle Last Longer

1. The First Burn Matters

The very first time you light your candle, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel. This sets the “memory” of the candle and prevents tunneling—ensuring an even, full burn every time after.

 

2. Keep the Wick Trimmed

Before each burn, trim your wick to about ¼ inch. A shorter wick means a steadier flame, less soot, and a longer-lasting candle.

 

3. Burn in Intervals

Candles love balance. Burn yours for 2–4 hours at a time. This allows the fragrance to fill your space while protecting the integrity of the wax and vessel.

 

4. Protect from Drafts

Keep your candle away from fans, open windows, or vents. A steady flame burns slower, cleaner, and more evenly.

 

5. Extinguish with Care

Blowing out your candle can cause smoke and disturb the wax. Instead, use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax, then straighten it. This preserves the fragrance and makes relighting smoother.
