5 WAYS TO TAKE

Care of your Candles

IMPORTANT - Do Not Bypass this Message! Follow these tips to get the best (and safest!) burn.

Here at Incense of Heaven, we want you to enjoy every product we offer. Please follow directions and be responsible with the items purchased.  Incense of Heaven will not be responsible for any damages caused by inappropriate burning of the candles or items on the site. 

1. Trim that wick.

Before lighting, trim the wick to 1/4" using scissors or one of our wick trimmers for a clean, safe burn and increased candle lifespan.

2. Let it burn.

Sit back, relax and enjoy your candle burning experience. Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar every burn to prevent tunneling - especially important on the first burn! To protect the surface below from heat, place your candle on a coaster or tile.  

3. Safety First

Never leave a lit candle unattended, near combustible items, or in the reach of children.

  • Don't burn for more than 2 hours at a time.  At 2 hours or nearing, please put the flame out and allow the candle to cool. 

  • Burn candles on a flat even surface. This will help ensure the candle can burn evenly and prevent a fire or damaging other items.

4. Know when to stop.

Don't burn your candle if only 1/4"-1/2" of wax remains. Lighting a candle without enough wax can overheat the jar.

5. Reuse it.

 Once the candle is finished, clean out the jar! Now you've got a new planter or pencil holder or whatever you'd like.
