Care Instructions

Love your JHScents soy candle!

It really is all about the wick! If you love your candle, it will perform as you wish!

For the first burn you should allow the wax to extend to the rim of the jar. This will keep the candle from pooling in the middle. A good rule of thumb is to burn one hour for every inch of the candle’s diameter. 

Keep your wick trimmed to ¼” and centered. One way to achieve this and prevent the wick from mushrooming or smoking too much is the way you extinguish your candle. Extinguish the flame by bending the wick into the wax with a utensil of sorts-never your fingers-and then repositioning it. 

Remember to store your candle in an upright, level position in a dark, cool place. Do not store in bright light or leave the candle in your vehicle. Please keep your candle out of reach from children and pets. The best place to burn your candle is on a protective, heat-resistant surface away from drafts. NEVER leave a burning candle unattended. 

• Time the first burn. To maximize the life of your soy candle, time the inaugural burn. Keep it lit for one hour per inch in candle diameter to ensure an even burn as you use it.
• Protect your candle. When not in use, make sure to keep a lid or cover on your soy candle. Any dust or dirt can ruin the wick and affect the burn.
• Use a snuffer. Blowing out candles can be fun, but it can also create smoke and move around dust in the air. To protect your candle and the air quality, use a candle snuffer.
• Don’t leave candles unsupervised. It’s never safe to leave a lit flame unattended, especially overnight.
