How to Care for Your Candle and Get a Cleaner, Longer Burn

A little care can make a meaningful difference in how evenly and cleanly a candle burns.

Trim the wick

Before each burn, trim the cotton wick to approximately 1/4 inch. A properly trimmed wick helps control the flame and can reduce excess soot and mushrooming.

Let the first burn reach the edges

On the first use, allow the melted wax to reach close to the vessel’s edges. This helps prevent a narrow tunnel from developing. Never exceed the maximum burn time stated on the product or safety label.

Keep the candle away from drafts

Fans, vents, open windows, and busy walkways can cause an uneven flame. Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from anything flammable.

Know when to stop

Discontinue use when approximately 1/2 inch of wax remains. Burning to the very bottom can overheat the vessel.

Basic candle safety

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep it away from children and pets.
  • Do not move the candle while the wax is liquid or the vessel is hot.
  • Keep the wax free from wick trimmings and debris.

With a consistent care routine, your Toffee candle can provide a steadier and more enjoyable ritual.
