A Guide to Caring for Your Handcrafted Soy Wax Candle from Olive's Candles & Gifts


Thank you for choosing a handcrafted soy wax candle from Olive's Candles & Gifts! To ensure you make the most of your handcrafted soy wax candle, follow our candle care guide:


1. Remove the Dust Cover Before Lighting:

  • Before lighting your candle, carefully remove the dust cover to reveal the beautiful fragrance within. Ensure that no debris is left on the candle surface.

2. Trim Wick to 1/4 Inch Before Lighting:

  • Trim the candle wick to approximately 1/4 inch before each use. This helps maintain a clean and even burn, preventing the wick from becoming too long and causing uneven burning or excessive flickering.

3. Keep Candle Free of Foreign Materials:

  • Prior to lighting, make sure the candle is free of any foreign materials such as matches, wick trimmings, or any other debris. This ensures a clean and safe burn every time.

4. Only Burn on a Level, Fire-Resistant Surface:

  • Place the candle on a level, heat-resistant surface. This precaution prevents the candle from tipping over and ensures a safe burning environment. Avoid placing the candle on delicate or flammable surfaces.

5. Do Not Burn for More Than 4 Hours at a Time:

  • Like savoring a fine wine, allow your candle's fragrance to unfold gradually. Limit each burning session to no more than 4 hours, preserving both the quality of the fragrance and the longevity of your candle.

6. Do Not Use the Dust Cover to Extinguish Flame:

  • To extinguish the flame, we recommend using a candle snuffer or gently blowing on the flame until it is extinguished. Do not use the dust cover for this purpose, as it may trap heat and create a hazard.
