Enhancing Your EternalFlame Experience: Candle Care Tips & DIY Ideas
At EternalFlame, we understand the transformative power of candlelight. With proper care, your EternalFlame candles will last longer, burn evenly, and fill your space with a delightful fragrance. This guide offers essential candle care tips and creative DIY ideas to help you get the most out of your candle experience.
Setting the Stage: Choosing the Perfect Candle Location
The right location is crucial for maximizing your candle's performance:
- Avoid Drafts: Position your candles away from windows, fans, or vents to ensure an even burn.
- Heat-Resistant Surfaces: Place your candles on heat-resistant surfaces to protect your furniture.
- Create Ambiance: Arrange EternalFlame candles in clusters to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Taming the Flame: The Importance of Wick Trimming
Before each use, trim the wick to ¼ inch using a wick trimmer. This simple step reduces smoke, prevents soot buildup, and ensures a clean, even burn. Although EternalFlame candles come pre-trimmed, maintaining the wick’s length is key to maximizing their lifespan.
The First Burn: Establishing a Strong Foundation
The first burn is crucial for maximizing your candle’s longevity. Allow your EternalFlame candle to burn long enough for the entire surface to melt into a pool of wax. This prevents tunneling and promotes consistent burning in future uses.
Safety First: Understanding Burn Time
To ensure safety and optimal use, avoid burning your EternalFlame candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Extinguish the candle if the wick becomes unstable or the flame grows too high.
Extinguishing the Flame with Care
To extinguish your candle, use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame. This minimizes smoke and helps maintain a clean burn for your next use.
Storing for Lasting Quality
When not in use, cover your EternalFlame candle with its lid or store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage preserves the fragrance and quality of your candle.
Repurposing the Beautiful EternalFlame Glass Vessel
