Candle Care Guide

To get the most from your LEAFE'S soy candle, follow these simple care tips. Proper care extends burn time, improves scent throw, and keeps your candle looking beautiful.

🕯️ First Burn

Allow your candle to burn until the entire surface has melted to the edges on the first use. This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn throughout the life of your candle. This typically takes 2–4 hours depending on the size.

✂️ Trim the Wick

Before each burn, trim your wick to approximately 5mm. This prevents mushrooming, reduces soot, and helps your candle burn more evenly. A wick trimmer or small scissors work perfectly.

⏱️ Burn Time

For best results, burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool and solidify completely before relighting. This protects the jar and extends the life of your candle.

🔒 Safety First

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials.
• Always burn on a heat-resistant surface.
• Keep out of drafts to prevent uneven burning.
• Stop burning when 10mm of wax remains.
• Never use water to extinguish a candle — use a snuffer or lid.

♻️ Reuse Your Jar

Once your candle has finished, clean out the jar with warm soapy water and repurpose it as a storage container, planter, or pen holder. Our jars are designed to be beautiful long after the candle is gone.
